Does Cistanche have any side effects?

As my country's economic situation has undergone some special changes, many young people feel that their work pressure is gradually increasing, and long-term high-pressure work has caused them to develop some sub-health conditions. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Cistanche deserticola is very good for treating some of our common sub-health conditions such as insomnia and dreaminess at noon. So does Cistanche deserticola have any side effects?
