What Is Cistanche?
In this article, I talk about and answer the question “What is Cistanche?”. I also explain briefly how this herb could help sufferers of erectile difficulties, how to take and what the ideal dosage is.
Let’s dive straight in and answer the question!
What Is Cistanche?
It is a desert plant that grows to a height of 160cm tall and belongs to the botanical family Orobanchaceae. In China it is known as “Rou Cong Rong”, the “Cong Rong” refers to unhurried and mild meaning this is a safe herb to take daily and you ought to be unhurried and unrushed when waiting for results. Prolonged use is best for Cistanche.
Prolonged use is best for Cistanche.
In traditional Chinese Medicine, it is seen as one of the top herbs for strengthening the kidneys and tonifying yang and bringing essential benefits to the blood.
Ancient Chinese Dynasties demanded and took cistanche on a daily basis. It mainly grows in the western regions of China and is an adaptogenic herb with many powerful healing qualities that rival ginseng hence an appropriate nickname of desert ginseng despite not belonging to the same botanical family as ginseng.
In more recent times the herb has been used for improving sexual potency to great effect earning another rightful nickname of Natural Viagra!
With the exception of erectile problems, it also has potentially beneficial effects on female infertility, excessive bleeding during menstruation, easing of menstrual tension and symptoms of the menopause. Also may be good for lower back pain, to name only a few of the benefits of Cistanche.
