Cistanche deserticola is extremely harmful

When we take some Chinese herbal medicines in daily life, we always think of the saying "all medicines are poisonous to the point of three parts". We are no exception when taking Chinese herbal medicines such as Cistanche. We are always worried that it will have toxic side effects and cause harm to our body. So, is there any harm in eating Cistanche for a long time? If there is any harm, what is the harm? Is there any truth to the widespread rumor in daily life that Cistanche is extremely harmful?

The harm of long-term consumption of Cistanche

1. In daily life, many people think that long-term consumption of Cistanche will cause certain harm to the human body. This understanding is not comprehensive, because Cistanche is a kind of medicinal vegetable with mild properties and non-toxic side effects. However, its nourishing and health-preserving effects are very good. A small number of people will experience some discomfort symptoms after taking too much Cistanche, but this situation is not common.

2. Long-term consumption of Cistanche does not cause significant harm to the human body. On the contrary, it can have a significant nourishing and health-preserving effect. It can nourish yin and moisten dryness, promote digestion, enhance the body's immune function, and slow down physical decline. However, we must eat Cistanche in moderation. If we eat too much Cistanche, it will increase the gastrointestinal burden on the human body and easily cause indigestion or abdominal distension and abdominal pain.

3. Cistanche is a Chinese herbal medicine with mild properties. Long-term use will not cause significant harm to the human body, so everyone can take it with confidence. However, in terms of operation methods, everyone must do more mastery, because Chinese herbal medicines such as Cistanche are usually soaked in water and drunk, which is not conducive to the full play of its health care and medicinal value functions, and is also not conducive to the body's absorption and utilization of its almond-containing ingredients. Therefore, when people usually eat Cistanche, it is best to fry it before eating.

The harm caused by Cistanche is huge

Through the above introduction, everyone can find that eating Cistanche for a long time will not harm the human body, but will have a variety of benefits to the human body, can improve physical fitness, and can also prevent a variety of diseases. Therefore, the claim that Cistanche is extremely harmful and widely circulated in daily life is not true at all, and there is no scientific evidence. Everyone does not need to blindly believe it.
