The famous writer discusses "Seeking Truth from Materia Medica": "Cynomorium songaricum is the same as Cistanche deserticola. Where yin and qi are deficient, essence and blood are declining, and stool is dry and knotted, it can be used to treat it, and it is better to cook porridge instead of cistanche, so we know that although its nature is warm, its body is still moist, and it cannot be regarded as a necessary medicine for the decline of life and fire. "Therefore, it is suggested in the book that it should not be used by people who have dry stools. It is beneficial to know that it belongs to the yin category, that is, there is a cloud that can replenish the yang, but it only means that the yin can replenish the yang and the yang is self-excited. Is it true that it is a medicine for dryness and heat?
