pharmacological action

Anti-aging effect

"Cistanche deserticola has a certain degree of anti-aging effect. Cistanche deserticola can obviously enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase in red blood cells and reduce the content of lipofuscin in myocardium of mice. It can also prolong the average life span, semi-lethal days and maximum life span of Drosophila melanogaster. 8g/kg Cistanche deserticola decoction can significantly increase the activities of Na+ and K+-ATPase in erythrocyte membrane, which may be one of its nourishing mechanisms.

Regulate endocrine, promote metabolism and keep fit.

Cistanche deserticola can regulate the decrease and increase of nucleic acid content in liver and spleen of animals with yang deficiency and yin deficiency; It can activate adrenal glands and release corticosteroids. The mechanism may be to enhance the luteinizing function of hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary, which is not because they directly stimulate the secretion of luteinizing hormone by pituitary, but to improve the responsiveness of pituitary to LRH and ovary to LH. It is suggested that the main significance of tonifying kidney with traditional Chinese medicine is to improve the regulation mechanism in vivo and play an active therapeutic role through the recovery of internal functions of the body. By studying the effect of cistanche deserticola on the DNA synthesis rate of "Yang deficiency" animals, it was found that hydroxyurea reduced the DNA synthesis rate by inhibiting the reduction reaction of nucleotides at the level of diphosphate, and protein and energy metabolism disorder caused "Yang deficiency"; Cistanche deserticola may contain a bioactive factor that activates nucleotide reductase, so it can significantly improve the DNA synthesis rate of "Yang deficiency" animals and promote RNA synthesis; Improving protein's nucleic acid metabolism; Adding its dilute ethanol extract to drinking water and feeding it to rats can promote growth and development.

The role of the immune system

Oral administration of 50mg/kg and 100mg/kg water extract of cistanche deserticola in mice can significantly increase the weight of spleen and thymus, improve the phagocytic function of peritoneal macrophages, increase hemolysin and PFC values, increase lymphocyte transformation rate and delayed hypersensitivity index, increase cAMP level, reduce cGMP level and increase cAMP/cGMP ratio, which may be one of the reasons for enhancing the phagocytic function of peritoneal macrophages. Ethanol extract of cistanche deserticola (1.25g/kg, 2.5g/kg) was given to mice by gavage for 8 days, and sensitized with sheep red blood cells on the fifth day, which could obviously inhibit the number of plaque in spleen cells. Cistanche deserticola extract and total flavonoids of Epimedium have additive effects on lymphatic transformation in immunocompromised mice, which can enhance the immune ability of model mice.

Promote deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis

Cistanche deserticola decoction (0.5g/ml)0.5ml/ can only increase the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid in liver and spleen of "Yang deficiency" mice induced by hydrocortisone acetate.

Other functions

The water extract, alcohol water extract and alcohol extract of Cistanche deserticola have hypotensive effects on anesthetized dogs, cats and rabbits, and Cistanche deserticola can promote saliva secretion and respiratory paralysis in mice.

Medical classic records

1. Xinjiang Dayun manages cistanche deserticola, which is insufficient in kidney essence. Most of them are because of wanton indulgence or juvenile masturbation, which leads to the decline of life, qi deficiency and cold; Or depressed, sad spleen; Or because of fear of kidney injury, but also because of hot and humid betting, suffering from muscle flaccidity. But it is mainly due to deficiency of kidney yang and flaccidity. Kidney yang is the foundation of yang qi, which has the functions of warming the body, steaming water and promoting reproductive development. Deficiency of kidney yang leads to warm and dereliction of duty and qi has no right. As a result, chills and cold limbs appear, and sexual function declines. Therefore, male impotence is not strong, accompanied by dizziness, weakness of waist and legs, palpitation and insomnia, pale face and listlessness.

2 "Ben Jing": governing five poisons and seven injuries, tonifying deficiency, removing cold, heat and pain in stems, nourishing five internal organs, strengthening yin, benefiting essence and qi, and abdominal pain in women.

3. "Do not record": in addition to bladder pathogens, low back pain, stop dysentery.

4. The Theory of Medicinal Properties: Benefiting marrow and pleasing color, prolonging life, treating women's bloody collapse, strengthening yang and tonifying.

5. "Japanese Herbal Medicine": Treating male impotence and female infertility, nourishing the five internal organs, increasing muscles, warming the waist and knees, male ejaculation, hematuria, retention and vaginal pain.

6. "Materia Medica": When white wine is cooked and eaten, the elderly will dry up.

7. "Materia Medica": Cistanche deserticola, the main medicine for tonifying kidney and benefiting essence and blood, is slightly warm in gas, and it is wrong to say that it is hot. Gan can clear away heat and tonify the middle energizer, acid can enter the liver, salty can nourish the kidney, kidney and liver are yin, when Yin Qi grows, the five internal organs will be exhausted and the penis will recover from cold and heat pain. Kidney and liver are sufficient, then Jingxue will be abundant day by day and Jingxue will be abundant. Women's abdominal pain, the disease is in blood, more blood, abdominal pain will disappear. If the bladder is weak, the pathogenic factors will attack it, and if it is supplemented, the pathogenic factors will disperse and the low back pain will stop. Long-term use, fat and healthy, but also beneficial to kidney, liver, essence and blood. When you say treating dysentery, you can't say guiding stagnation and slipping.

8. "Materia Medica": Cistanche deserticola, a medicine that nourishes life, nourishes kidney and qi, and nourishes essence and blood. Men suffer from deficiency and cold due to Dan Yuan, long Yang Dao, and women's chong and ren are unbalanced. Yin Qi has not recovered. This is a tonic, warm but not hot, tonic but not strong, warm but not dry, slippery but not leaking, so it has the name of calmness.

9. Benjing: The main source of Benjing of Cistanche deserticola is that fire cannot produce and qi is not refined. For women with abdominal pain, salty can be soft and firm, and blood can be divided. Cistanche deserticola can also stop nocturnal emission and drown, except for heat and pain in the stem, so it can lead to deficiency fire. The old man is dry and hard, so he wants to cook porridge.

10. Medicinal solution of Sorbus pohuashanensis: Cistanche deserticola, which warms waist and knees, strengthens flesh and blood, nourishes kidney and liver essence and blood, moistens stomach and stagnates dryness. The feces there are hard and small, shaped like sheep dung, and the soil is wet and dark, so I don't know anything about it. The grain is in the stomach, so it can't go down, can't be scattered, and can't be connected. It's hard to get past it when it's dried and refined into particles in Yangming's large intestine meridian. It's always dry and can't be discharged. A dose of Rehmannia glutinosa and Turtle Gum will make the soil moist, and the gas in it will become worse and worse. Cistanche deserticola nourishes cool breeze, nourishes blood and moistens dryness, and is good at sliding large intestine, but it is leisurely and comfortable, which is incomparable to other moistening dryness drugs. The prescription says that replenishing essence, pleasing color, prolonging life and treating male impotence and female infertility is not a compliment.

Only its strength can nourish it, so any lump accumulated in the abdomen will be eliminated as long as it is strengthened. Only when it nourishes and yang helps, so any nocturnal emission and stem pain, when it is cold or hot, can be eliminated by it. If the fire is extremely weak, using this sweet taste is the same as that of Guangxi and Fujian, but it is far from enough. What's more, it is said to tonify yin, which is also named after cistanche deserticola. Obviously, it is also suitable for defecation because of its slow skills and special moistening effect, but not for people with stomach deficiency. It is possible to say that it is nourishing yin, but it is not inevitable to say that it is supplementing fire.

1 1. "Materia Medica Justice": Cistanche deserticola and Benjing are the main indications, and all of them have the function of nourishing yin by hiding yin, nourishing five internal organs and strengthening yin. Cold, heat and pain in the stem are the symptoms of kidney deficiency and cold. Cistanche deserticola is thick and heavy, straight into the kidney, warm and moist, without the harm of dryness, and can warm and nourish essence and blood, so it benefits essence and qi. For the person in charge of abdominal pain, salty food can soften the hard mass, disperse the hard mass, enter the blood, nourish yin and replenish essence, warm and tonify yang qi, and make qi and blood smooth without blocking. In addition to the pathogenic factors of bladder meridian, it is necessary to warm and nourish, while the cold pathogens in Shuifu are eliminated by themselves. The waist is the house of the kidney, kidney deficiency and lumbago, and cistanche deserticola benefits the kidney, which is to treat it. Today, all trees are dysentery, stagnation, not diarrhea. Cistanche deserticola slippery intestine, dysentery is stagnation, should be sparse but not solid, should be slippery but not removed, should be nourishing the five internal organs but not attacking, it is qi deficiency of chronic dysentery, but it is suitable for those who have not accumulated stagnation, and there is no cure for summer-damp dysentery. Cistanche deserticola is a very moist product, which can be preserved for a long time in the market. Ancient books call it light, but now it is salty, and after a long time, the freshness has been completely eliminated. Even if washed gently, its properties will be destroyed. Therefore, the function of nourishing yin and yang mentioned by the ancients is extremely weak, and Gai is used to keeping pace with the times, so it is no longer discussed with examples. However, the salty taste can be reduced, and it can moisten the intestines, which is quite effective in controlling loose stool's discomfort, and it is warm and moist, benefiting yin and activating yang, so it can clear the fu-organs without hurting body fluids, especially the ear alone. Since the Song Dynasty, Cistanche deserticola, as the main drain, even the main blood collapse and drowning, is said to have the effect of nourishing yin and helping yang. To know the smooth products, there is more guidance, and Xi can be astringent. In addition to yin cold and heat pain, this meridian is nourishing yin and rising yang, and the general principle is no pain. It is a fallacy for later generations to extend their meaning, mistakenly recognize the big supplement, and instead want to treat the slip with sparse benefits.

12. Compendium of Materia Medica: This thing is not rigorous, so it has a leisurely font size. Everyone should soak in sake for one night until the sand and floating nails are browned, the center is broken and the white film is as heavy as bamboo grass. This will alienate people and make people angry. Steamed by Zhen, taken out at noon and baked until crisp.
