Dr. He Haochen
Generally speaking, Cistanche (Rou Cong Rong) has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, nourishing yin and enriching blood, as well as tonifying the kidneys and enhancing yang. It can be used to treat symptoms such as fever, cough, dizziness, fatigue, kidney deficiency, and lower back pain. Cistanche also possesses anti-aging, liver-protective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, helping prevent various diseases, promote overall health, delay aging, and enhance immunity. Additionally, it can improve memory, relieve depression, and reduce anxiety, thereby helping to improve mental well-being and enhance physical and psychological resilience. However, when consuming Cistanche wine, moderation is important—avoid excessive intake.
