The History of Cistanche deserticola
Cistanche, also known as Rou Cong Rong in mandarin, has long been considered one of the best Chinese herbs
to strengthen kidneys, tonify Yang, and benefit essence and blood. It was once a routine demanded imperial
tribute in ancient dynasties. This herb mainly comes from the Western Regions and resembles ginseng on
healing properties. Hence, it is prized as the “desert ginseng.” In recent years, thanks for the unique efficacy
for fatigue and sexual potency, this tonic herb was given another title –“natural Viagra.” That sounds like this
is a kidney yang tonic for men only. In fact, it works for women and children as well since it is not that tonic
as people think it should be. Just like the cistanche reviews from Li Shizhen, it is named Cong Rong, literally
“unhurried”, because it tonifies in a mild way. That being said, it tonifies while causing no endogenous heat
and, more importantly, helps free movement of bowels. This is the exact uniqueness makes this herb what it
is. No wonder it is one of the most widely used kidney tonic herb of all time.And what is cistanche used for is
more than just as one of jing tonic herbs. Besides of ED (erectile dysfunction),it also has a therapeutic effect
for women’s infertility, excessive uterine bleeding, myoma of uterus, low back pain, and more.
What is cistanche herb?
It actually refers to a genus in the family Orobanchaceae. Total 16 cistanche species are distributed mainly in
the Mediterranean region, Africa and Asia. In China there are 6 species like Cistanche deserticola Y. C. Ma and
Cistanche salsa (C. A. MEY.) G. BECK. They are mainly produced in Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Xinjiang,Qinghai and
other places. Medicinally it mainly refers to the fleshy stem with scale leaf of Cistanche deserticola. But
sometimes the medicinal sources also include Cistanche salsa, Cistanche sinensis, Cistanche ambigua, and
Cistanche tubulosa. So, other names of this herb include suosuo dayun, desert-broomrape, Fleshy Stem of
Broomrape,Herba Cistanche,Herba Cistanches Deserticolae,desertliving cistanche,cistanches caulis, cistanche
deserticola stem,etc.It’s usually harvested in spring when the shoot tip just or doesn’t break through the soil
yet. After that, it still needs to remove the inflorescence and cut into slices. Medicinally it is used raw or
processed with wine.
Cistanche deserticola is a holoparasitic plant that attacks the host plants of Haloxylon persicum(white saxaul)
and Haloxylon ammodendron(black saxaul)And then it hijacks the needed nutrients and water from cistanche
root to survive.It’s perennial from 40to160cm in height.Fleshy cistanche stem is cylindrical often unbranched.
Scaly leaves arrange spirally on the stem.Acrogenous spica is at the top of stem and with numerous flowers;
bract is 1; bracteoles are 2. Tubular or bell-shaped calyx is often 5-parted atop.Corolla is tubular,bell-shaped
or funnel-shaped,5-lobed at the top,and with equally big lobes.Stamens are 4and located on the corolla tube.
Ovary is superior, with 1 room, 4 Parietales, slender style, and nearly spherical stigma.Cistanche fruit is ovoid
or nearly spherical, 2-lobed or rarely 3-lobed,and often with persistent stigma.Seeds are numerous,very small
nearly spherical, and with mesh surface. So far the number of herba cistanches in the wild keeps dwindling so
that it has been listed as endangered species on CITE Appendix2.This scenario is caused by several combined
factors. According to the survey, only 7 out of 1,000 Haloxylon ammodendron are found with cistanches; the
saxaul host is an excellent feed to camel;it is also the major fuel source for the local people.Therefore,a loss
of the saxaul host is the main blame due to overgrazing and indiscriminate collection.
Succulent cistanche bark and stem contains cistanoside A, B, C, H,acteoside,2′-acetyl acteoside,echinacoside
7 phenylethanoid glycoside compositions, liriodendron, 8-epiloganic acid, daucosterol, betaine, β-sitosterol
mannitol,N,N-Dimethylglycine methyl ester,succinic acid,Triacontanol,polysaccharides,and 15 kinds of amino
acids like phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, serine, etc.
