Cistanche Tubulosa, also known as desert ginseng, is a holoparasitic plant which completely lacks chlorophyll and survives by growing on and absorbing nutrients from a host plant. Cistanche Extract has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine and has recently gained popularity in the west for its beneficial properties to testosterone levels and cognitive function.
Cistanche stem (and sometimes the root) is used to strengthen the Yang energy and is famous in Asia as a sexual tonic that has long been used by Chinese royalty. It is not hormonal. It has been used since ancient times by Qi Gong practitioners. Cistanche builds deep strength and is quite vitalizing when used continuously for a period of time. It also promotes healthy colon function.
