Abstract:
The clinical practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has proved that Cistanche deserticola has the function of tonifying the kidney and strengthening Yang, replenishing essence and blood, moistening intestinal tracts, and so is a treasure of nourishing herbs in Chinese Medicine. In recent years, focusing on the tonifying kidney Yang, its reproductive effects of Cistanche deserticola in pharmacology and toxicology have been deeply studied, and the relevant research results have attracted wide attention from TCM researchers. In this review, the role of Cistanche deserticola extracts in regulating reproductive function was reviewed. The comprehensive analysis shows that the Cistanche deserticola extract regulates the reproductive endocrine of both female and male, which can improve the reproductive function, and provides a modern biological basis for the classical viewpoint of " Cistanche deserticola tonifying kidney and Yang".
