                    Roucongrong tea
        Roucongrong tea is a herbal tea which is made from Cistanche deserticola. In Chinese, roucongrong refers to the fleshy or meaty nature (rou) of the part used (the stem) and to its effects, which are calm and leisurely (congrong), that is, smooth, not sudden or harsh in tonifying yang (in contrast to other herbs that have a more vigorous action). Cistanche deserticola is parasitized on the roots of Haloxylon ammodendron in the Badain Jaran desert area with four seasons, obviously different temperature between day and night, plenty of sunlight and almost untouched environment without any pollution.
What is Cistanche deserticola used for?
        The uses of cistanche deserticola have evolved over nearly 2,000 years. Cistanche deserticola was described in the oldest surviving herb classic, Shennong Bencao Jing (ca. 100 A.D.)and Bencao Gangmu etc.
Cistanche deserticola mainly treats the five taxations and seven damages, supplements the center, eliminates cold and heat and pain in the penis, nourishes the five viscera, strengthens yin, and boosts essence qi. In females, it makes pregnancy possible and treats concretions and conglomerations. Protracted taking may make the body light.
