In addition, a friend gave me two boxes of [Cistanche tubalensis]. I just learned about this medicinal material. It is produced in southern Xinjiang. After reading the packaging instructions, it can be used to make soup, brew wine, make tea, etc. Modern research has shown that it has many effects in improving renal function, enhancing memory, anti-dementia, anti-aging, anti-fatigue, and regulating immune function. This time, 3 slices were put in the soup. There was no strange smell, but the color of the soup was darker.
