I don't know when, it seems that all men have the problem of "kidney deficiency", and if they don't make up for it, it seems that they are sorry for themselves, so all kinds of "aphrodisiac" and "kidney tonic" supplements start to fly around, and Chinese herbs are also abused again and again, as if taking these things can make them strong and powerful. The Chinese herbal medicine is also abused again and again, as if you eat these things, you can be able to dragon essence, a column, but in fact, no matter whether it is Cistanch, lock yang such traditional Chinese medicine, or aphrodisiac rookie maca, if the symptomatic and the application of the right, may have a certain effect of tonic kidneys, if not the appropriate application, invalid not to mention that, but also may instead of damage to the body's health.

Cistanchiakia and Cistanche

(Pictured above is Cistanche.)

Cistanchis and lock yang, can be completely said together, both herbs are grown in the desert, and both are parasitized on the roots of other plants, and there are similarities in their medicinal effects. Cistanchis is sweet, salty and slightly warm in nature, and belongs to the kidney and large intestine meridians, with the effects of tonifying the kidney, benefiting the essence and blood, and moistening the intestinal tract, while lock yang is sweet in taste and warm in nature, and belongs to the kidney, spleen, and large intestine meridians, and likewise has the effects of tonifying the kidney and moistening the intestines. To share an ancient exposition on these two herbs: (the picture below shows lock yang)

The Materia Medica Seeking Truth: 'Lock-yang is the same as Cistanchis. Whenever there is a deficiency of yin qi, a decline in essence and blood, or a dryness of the bowels, the treatment can be used to eat it and replace Cistanchiakis, which is good for cooking porridge, then we can know that although its nature is warm, its body is still moist and it is not a medicine that must be used for the failure of the fire of the life gate. Therefore, the book is contained in the stool is not dry knot do not use, I know that the nature of the yin class, that is, there are clouds can be complementary to the sun, but also the cloud of its yin complementary and the sun since the intention of the rise, is not the true nature of the annexes, osmanthus and for the hot and dry medicine.''

Some people say that these two herbs are for tonifying kidney yang deficiency, but in fact they are not, these two herbs are mainly for tonifying kidney yin. Kidney yin deficiency, which leads to dryness of stools, male impotence, female infertility, menstrual irregularities, etc., can be supplemented with Cistanchia and Liao Yang, which are very good choices. The reason why it can replenish kidney yang is because, when the yin deficiency is replenished, the yang energy will be generated by itself.

In contrast to these two drugs, Cistanchis is more mild in nature and is called "Cistanchis" precisely because of its gentle and unhurried medicinal properties, hence its name. Therefore, for the deficiency of essence and blood caused by yin deficiency, dryness of stools, especially dry and knotty stools in the shape of sheep's dung eggs, and difficulty in defecation, Cistanchis has the ability to nourish wood, clear wind, nourish blood and moisten dryness, and improve this condition of constipation, it has good curative effect. It is effective in clearing wind, nourishing blood and moistening dryness, and improving constipation in this condition. Compared with Cistanchis, lock yang has a stronger warming effect, and its blood nourishing effect is mainly due to nourishing the liver, and it is also effective for the lack of blood and qi caused by the impotence of sexual intercourse.

For the contraindications of taking these two medicines, it is also similar, where 'diarrhea and yang easy to lift but the essence is not solid is contraindicated', for patients who are hyperactive and easy to lift but have easy to premature ejaculation, taking these two medicinal herbs will be counterproductive and can't have a good effect. And those with weak spleen and stomach, thin stools and other conditions should not take these two herbs. Another point to note is that these two drugs are similar in medicinal properties and efficacy, generally if the case is symptomatic, choose one can be, there is no need to combine the two.

maca (loanword)

Finally said this blowing God's "maca", which is grown in China's Yunnan region and South America, a wild plant, the root is shaped like a radish, in recent years by some businessmen fast fried on the day, "plant Viagra", "South American ginseng", in fact, the research on it is not sufficient, there is no evidence to prove that eating maca can significantly improve sexual function, because it contains a variety of amino acids, trace elements and minerals. "South American ginseng", in fact, its research is not sufficient, and there is no evidence to prove that eating maca will be able to significantly improve sexual function, due to its content of a variety of amino acids, trace elements and minerals, serving on the body may have a certain complementary role, but to say that replenish the kidneys to strengthen the essence of the majority of the psychological effect.

For "tonic kidney aphrodisiac", and then a little more to say a few words, tonic kidney and aphrodisiac, that is, related, but also irrelevant, for tonic kidney, but also to the right symptom, if the right symptom to make up for the good, perhaps for the aphrodisiac aspects of help, if the complementary is not the right, on the contrary, there may not be a good role in improving the sexuality of the ability to enhance the exercise can be completely enhanced through the enhancement of the cardiorespiratory function, increase back waist strength, balanced diet and nutrition to do, why have to go to the "tonic"? Increase back waist strength, balanced dietary nutrition to do, why have to go to eat "tonic" it? "The human body has its own medicine".Balanced dietary nutrition, reasonable and consistent exercise, good sleep and rest, is the body's best "tonic"!！

At present, there are more studies on Cistanchis, Chinese medicine believes that Cistanchis is sweet, slightly warm, non-toxic, and is a "desert ginseng" to help men tonify the kidney and strengthen the yang, it has the ability to nourish the five viscera, warm the waist and knees, and grow muscles, tonic yang, nourish the five viscera, Cistanchis is rich in alkaloids, amino acids, trace elements and other ingredients. Cistanchis are rich in alkaloids, amino acids, trace elements, etc. It can tonify kidney yang, benefit essence and blood, and inhibit the appearance of "yang deficiency" symptoms. It can effectively prevent and treat diseases such as impotence, spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation in men and irregular menstruation, amenorrhea and infertility in women.

Lock yang is one of the most commonly used herbs for tonifying the kidneys; it calms the liver and tonifies the kidneys, benefits the essence and blood, lubricates the intestines and passes stools, and treats infertility caused by deficiency of qi and blood, as well as strengthens the muscles and bones and replenishes calcium. It can also enhance immune function; resist platelet aggregation; have glucocorticoid-like effects; and supplement vitamins and minerals. The latest scientific experiments have proved that lock yang also has the effects of anti-cancer, anti-virus and delaying aging.

Maca is mainly produced in the Andes Mountains of South America and Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China, and is a cruciferous plant. It is a cruciferous plant with oval leaves and small round radish-like rhizomes, which are edible and a purely natural food rich in nutrients. In the country of origin, people often drink the fresh root with honey and fruit juice, which can make people physically energetic and energetic.

In terms of nourishing and benefiting the kidneys, here are the differences between the three. The efficacy of maca has been little studied in both Chinese and Western medicine. Some animal experiments show that after taking a certain dose and cycle, maca has a certain effect in anti-fatigue, enhance immunity, improve sexual function and fertility, but it is by no means a quick effect. Foreign studies have claimed that maca contains maca dilution, maca amide has a significant effect on balancing human hormone secretion, but there are also papers that double-blind experiments found that maca in this aspect of the efficacy of the placebo in fact there is no difference. Regarding the effects of maca as a kidney tonic and aphrodisiac, it feels more like an exaggerated statement by the businessmen. Some studies have shown that it is just as nutritious and energizing, and is really good as a physical fitness and also nutritional supplement. It may also be because of this role, many people mistakenly believe that it has the effect of tonic kidney aphrodisiac.

Cistanchis and Cistanche are perennial, fleshy herbaceous parasitic plants that grow in the desert. The effects of Cistanchis and Cistanches are the same, such as tonifying the kidney and yang, tonifying the essence and blood, and moistening the intestines and laxatives. They can treat impotence, premature ejaculation and spermatorrhea in men with deficiency of kidney yang and essence and blood. Female uterine cold infertility, Jin withered intestinal dryness, weakness of muscles and bones, lumbar and knee pain and constipation. In addition, in addition to its medicinal role, and are food, tobacco and alcohol industry additives.

Although both Cistanchis and Cistanches can nourish the kidney, their effects are different. Cistanchis is mild and nourishing, and its warmth does not harm the yin, so it is called Cistanchis. Cistanchis can be consumed for a long period of time, and its moisturizing and nourishing effect is better than that of Luoyang. On the other hand, the tonic effect of Cistanches is stronger, and it is suitable for short-term consumption. It is not as effective as Cistanches in moistening the intestines, and its price is relatively cheaper. Cistanchis do not have the problem of fire when consumed in large quantities, whereas lock yang has the problem of fire when consumed in large quantities.

I hope the above answer can help you.

The authoritative interpretation of Pharmaceutical Affairs, unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism will be punished.

Hi, thanks for the invite!

Of the three, Cistanchis, lockjaw and maca, maca has been commercialized and advertised more in recent years, so it's a bit exaggerated. So it is possible that people may think that maca is a little bit better, and in terms of price, there is also a certain value for money.

In fact, the efficacy of the medicine, not so to compare, the main thing is to look at the individual physique, the different physical conditions, the use of medication also have differences, and the most important thing about the Chinese medicine formula is individualized, one person to one side. Whether it is from the physical condition or the economic situation, what suits you is the best. For example.

Astragalus, also tonifies Qi, and American ginseng also tonifies Qi, which one is more effective? It depends on your personal health condition. First, astragalus is suitable for tonifying qi and nourishing yang, while American ginseng is suitable for tonifying qi and nourishing yin. Secondly, the price difference between astragalus and American ginseng is huge. For ordinary people with general Yang deficiency and shortness of Qi, Astragalus is more suitable.

Take Cistanche, Cistanches and Maca.

Cistanchis, lockjaw and maca are all kidney yang tonic. However, Cistanchis and Cocklebur are more suitable for kidney yang deficiency, whereas Maca is more suitable for kidney yin deficiency because Maca has the effect of generating fluids and belongs to the Lung meridian and Kidney meridian. Cistanchis and lock-yang belong to the kidney and large intestine meridians.

Therefore, can not be intuitive, to compare them, this is too one-sided, only suitable for their own physical condition in order to see the effect, that is, Chinese medicine said must be the right medicine, if not the right symptoms, theoretically, then good things to the wrong place, but also can not play a good effect.

Lock yang: sweet flavor, warm. Mainly used for tonifying kidney yang, benefiting essence and blood, moistening intestines and laxatives. Used for lumbar and knee impotence, impotence and spermatorrhea, intestinal dryness and constipation.

Cistanchis: sweet, slightly warm, non-toxic. It is used for treating labor injury, semen loss, dark face, tonifying kidney yang, benefiting essence and blood, moistening intestines and laxative. It is used in treating impotence, infertility, lumbar and knee soreness, weakness of muscles and bones, intestinal dryness and constipation.

The Materia Medica Seeking Truth: 'Lock-yang is the same as Cistanchis. Where Yin Qi deficiency, essence and blood failure, stool dryness, treatment can be used to eat this, and instead of Cistanche, cooking porridge 弥佳, then know that although its nature is warm, its body is still moist, can not be cloud for the life of the fire must be used for the drug also." Cistanchis and lock yang, can be said together, these two herbs are grown in the desert, are also parasitic on the roots of other plants, and there are similarities in their medicinal effects.

Although both Cistanchis and Cistanches can nourish the kidney, their effects are different. Cistanchis is mild and nourishing, and its warmth does not harm the yin, so it is called Cistanchis. Cistanchis can be consumed for a long period of time, and its moisturizing and nourishing effect is better than that of Luoyang. On the other hand, the tonic effect of Cistanches is stronger, and it is suitable for short-term consumption. It is not as effective as Cistanches in moistening the intestines, and its price is relatively cheaper. Cistanchis do not have the problem of fire when consumed in large quantities, whereas lock yang has the problem of fire when consumed in large quantities.

Maca: Pungent, sweet and warm in flavor. Maca has a role to play in fighting fatigue, boosting immunity, and improving sexual function and fertility, but it is by no means a quick fix. In fact, the research on it is not sufficient, and there is no evidence to prove that eating maca will be able to significantly improve sexual function, due to its content of a variety of amino acids, trace elements and minerals, served on the body may have a certain complementary effect, but to say that tonic kidney and strong sperm, the majority of the psychological effect.

In recent years, under the influence of commercial advertisements, the efficacy value of Cistanchis, Cistanches and Maca has been infinitely exaggerated, and the three are often used to compare with each other, which is gradually detached from their actual functions. In fact, these three do not have the effect of the stronger the obvious points, about its tonic effect in the end which is good, but also need to look at what is applied to the disease, after all, people's physique is different, the effect also has a difference, do not believe it? See the following analysis.

I. Boschniakia glabra

Cistanchis, also known as light rue, is a parasitic plant, known as "desert ginseng", has a high medicinal value, and is often used as a tribute to the imperial court by countries in the western region in history, and is one of the commonly used tonic drugs in the kidney tonic and aphrodisiac prescription.

Its flavor is sweet, salty; warm in nature. It has the effect of tonifying kidney and yang; benefiting essence and blood; and moisturizing the intestines. Even more, it also has the effects of anti-aging, improving immunity and adjusting endocrine, promoting metabolism and strengthening.

It is mainly applied to patients with symptoms such as impotence due to deficiency of kidney yang; deficiency of essence and blood; seminal emission; leucorrhea; frequent urination; lumbago and foot weakness; tinnitus and blurred vision; menstrual diffraction; infertility due to uterine cold and constipation due to dryness of intestines and bowels.

II. lock yang (botany)

Lock yang, also known as immortality medicine, since ancient times has been called "gold lock yang, silver ginseng," said.

It is sweet in flavor and warm in nature. It belongs to liver and kidney meridians. It has similar medicinal properties with Cistanche. It can tonify the kidney, strengthen the yang and essence, moisten the intestines, and strengthen the waist and knees. It is used in the treatment of Yang deficiency and limb impotence, and many kinds of paralytic diseases, such as peripheral flaccid paralysis, foot and knee weakness; in the treatment of constipation and promotion of sexual function, it has the same effect as Cistanchis, but the price is cheaper.

The difference between the two is that although lock yang can also smooth the intestines, it is not as moist as Cistanche; although it can also treat hypogonadism, it is not as commonly used as Cistanche.

III. Maca

Maca is a kind of pure natural plant growing in high altitude mountainous areas, which has only been known to the public in recent years, and has been found to contain essential amino acids, alkaloids and so on. The unique macaene and maca amide have been recognized by scientists as "natural vitality nutrients".

Maca is warm, sweet and flat. It belongs to lung and kidney meridians. Can stimulate the human body hormone secretion, so on the kidney Yang deficiency caused by cold limbs, cold, mental depression, menstrual disorders, ovarian impotence, male and female infertility, impotence and premature ejaculation and other diseases have a certain therapeutic effect.

In addition, maca also has significant effects such as anti-fatigue, regulating endocrine balance, enhancing memory, and delaying menopause.

Therefore, as can be seen from the comparison of the three flavors, properties, effects and applications, it is not possible to make a one-sided comparison in a very intuitive manner. Can only say that each flavor of medicine has a different temperament, the right medicine, the right person to use the party effective. There is no need to overly deliberately touting, phase degradation.
