Some time ago, my good friend brought us some cistanche deserticola, which was very nice and delicious. This kind of cistanche deserticola may be rarely heard of by ordinary people, and it is not as widely known as Lycium barbarum. This is because the yield of cistanche deserticola is not very high, and the wild cistanche deserticola is not easy to obtain and belongs to an endangered species. In recent years, the pure wild cistanche deserticola in northwest China has been seriously developed and excavated. Because wild cistanche deserticola is not easy to obtain, there are many artificially planted cistanche deserticola in the market. Cistanche deserticola grows in the northwest desert area, especially in Alashan, Inner Mongolia. Cistanche deserticola is also called Dayun. In Alashan, Inner Mongolia, people have the tradition of digging and eating Cistanche deserticola, so there are many long-lived elderly people in the area.

Cistanche deserticola can be used as both medicine and food, which has a good nourishing effect on human body. It is one of the nine immortals in China, so it is called "desert ginseng" in Chinese medicine. ? "Desert Ginseng" Cistanche deserticola is the root of a plant, which is covered with scales like fish scales, and then the end is covered with purple flowers. The whole thing looks like an oversized asparagus, which is very spectacular. In fact, the taste is the same as asparagus, soft and juicy, and the locals use Cistanche deserticola as mutton soup, which is "excellent for tonic". I make soup with black beans and some pork bone slices. The soup was sweet and fragrant, and I felt refreshed the next day. Because the effect of cistanche deserticola is to make up for "five strains and seven injuries". ? "Desert Ginseng" Cistanche deserticola also has the functions of nourishing five internal organs, benefiting qi, having more children and treating gynecological diseases. In other words, people can improve their fertility. Many children are more eggs and sperm, and the treatment of female abdominal pain is to eliminate fibroids and cysts. Zhen Quan, a famous doctor in the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, was a rare person with a long life, at the age of 1.03. He said that cistanche deserticola can benefit the marrow, greatly replenish the yang, and the sun is twice as strong. The classic of Chinese medicine "Daming" says that Cistanche deserticola is used to treat male impotence and female infertility.
