[Comments] 1. Cistanche is warm and soft in nature, and has the function of nourishing the kidney and supporting yang. It is similar to Morinda officinalis, and can be used for symptoms of coldness in the lower abdomen, and is often used together. However, Morinda officinalis disperses wind and dispels cold and dampness, and can be used for cold and dampness pain in the lower limbs; while Cistanche nourishes fluid and moisturizes dryness, and can be used to treat constipation caused by insufficient body fluid. From the differences in the functions of the above two medicines, it can be seen that Cistanche is softer than Morinda officinalis, and is a medicine that nourishes yang and benefits yin.
