The next year, this teacher also recruited graduate students, with the relationship of classmates, usually always with this teacher set up almost, finally had a drinking opportunity, really put the secret recipe out.

Cistanche, known as "desert ginseng", is a traditional Chinese medicinal material. Inner Mongolia Alxa League Chagan Xi fever once ranked among the world's longevity towns, hypertension, stomach diseases, kidney diseases and other common diseases incidence is very low, local people are accustomed to stewing lamb habits to put meat cistanche, home-brewed cistanche wine.
Cistanche has a strange appearance, like a column, and the whole body seems to be covered with a layer of scaly armor. The freshly unearthed tender cistanche, with plenty of moisture and nutrients, is the best time to collect.
In desert areas, people like to cut off the tender cistanche, peel off the scaly skin, and eat it raw. Under the outer skin is a white sweet and crispy flesh, containing milk, rich in nutrients.
Cistanche is sweet, salty, warm, returned to the kidney and large intestine meridian, with the effect of tonifying kidney yang, improving sperm and blood, and moisturizing the intestines and laxatives. Main uses:
1． It is used for impotence with insufficient kidney yang, deficiency of sperm and blood, infertility, sore waist and knees, weakness of muscles and bones;
2． For dry bowel constipation.
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" believes that this substance is complementary but not steep, so it has a calm font size.
