Many people come to me every day to ask this question. If my answer to men's health care is yes, what if I ask me if it can cure colds? I would say no, this question is not comprehensive enough. All Chinese herbal medicines have their own effects to some extent, and it is very important to take the right medicine for the right symptoms.

We can clearly understand the key of the above three kinds of Chinese medicinal materials, which are men's nourishing and health-preserving products. Then our important question is how to take them correctly to achieve the ideal effect, which is actually to soak medicinal wine;

Why is this Chinese herbal medicine better when soaked in medicinal wine than when boiled in tea?

Answer: The ingredients of Cistanche and Cynomorium songaricum are similar. They both have the effect of strengthening yang and nourishing kidney. Among them, Cynomorium songaricum has a stronger effect. The main ingredient of Cistanche is echinacoside, which is what we often call Cistanche extract. It is obtained by alcohol extraction, that is, it is extracted with ethanol, so the effect of soaking in medicinal wine is the best. Of course, the extract of Rhizoma Cynomorii is also extracted by alcohol, so the nourishing and health-preserving effect of the three herbs soaked in medicinal wine is the best.

What is the actual effect of boiling tea with Cistanche, Cynomorium songaricum and Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae?

Answer: This depends on the quality of the product, and secondly, the type and processing technology. There are actually many processing technologies for Cistanche. If you want to make tea, it is recommended to use Cistanche shreds because it is specially used for making tea. It is recommended to crush Cynomorium songaricum into particles, and it is better to cut Epimedium leaves into pieces. The three ingredients can be boiled together to make tea. It is recommended to boil it for more than ten minutes before drinking it, so that more liquid will be exuded and the effect will be stronger.

What is the actual effect of grinding the three herbs of Cistanche, Cynomorium songaricum and Rhizoma Adenophorae into powder together?

Answer: Then you can't take too much. You can take them together. Choose 250g of Cistanche, 200g of Cynomorium songaricum, and 50g of Rhizoma Cynomorii. Grind them into powder, mix them evenly and put them into empty capsules directly. Take 2 capsules each time from morning to night. If the effect is not good, you can increase to 3 capsules, because both Cistanche and Cynomorium songaricum can promote digestion. If you take too much, you may also have diarrhea symptoms. Generally, you can feel the obvious feeling after taking it for six or seven days.

How to control the amount of wine soaked with Cistanche, Cynomorium and Epimedium?
