Cistanche deserticolais a rare and precious tonic herb from the remote desert of Inner Mongolia, virtually in the shadow of Heaven Mountain. It is one of the most revered herbs in Asian herbalism. Cistanche stem is a very potent Jing tonic herb that nurtures both Yin and Yang, though it is primarily renowned as a Yang tonic. It is historically believed to contribute to the enlargement of a certain part of the male anatomy. Desert Cistanche is famous among almost all Asians as “the herb that Genghis Khan consumed.” Genghis Khan was one of the most powerful men that ever lived and founded the largest empire in the history of the world. He also fathered more children than any other known man in all of history. He is the DNA-substantiated ancestor of a substantial proportion of men now alive in the world today, approximately 16 million descendant males, and is the ancestor of countless women as well, though his female lineage cannot be traced. We appreciate that Genghis Khan was not a good man. He was a ruthless warrior and a conqueror. He did not build libraries. So for Shen we recommend Reishi, Goji, wild Ginseng and any of Dragon Herbs Shen tonic formulations.
This product is the extract of wild-crafted Cistanche deserticola. It is a powerful Yang tonic made from a very rare herb. It is a tincture that you may consume straight into your mouth, or you may add to water or a blended drink or smoothie. From an herbal point of view, this is one of the most delicious and “consumable”“Drops” we have ever produced. It is rich, smooth, delicious, and simultaneously potent and delicate.
Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance. If you don’t take the herbs, they won’t work.”

Further Information
Dragon Herbs practices Tonic Herbalism, which is based on a 5000 year old system of health promotion, protection, and psychological transformation.
The highest level of health care stresses the promotion of positive health as the primary goal. When sufficiently nurtured, our body is fully capable of regulating its own multitude of independent yet united functions, the way nature intended. Science has not been able to, and will never be able to, match that power of Nature. The herbs used for this approach have traditionally been called the superior herbs, but today they are called the tonic herbs. The utilization of the tonic herbs is called Tonic Herbalism.
The tonic herbs are the elite herbs of the Chinese herbal system, the most fully developed herbal system in the world. The Chinese tonic herbs have always held a very special place in Asian culture. These very special natural substances have been associated with the highest qualities of living. The tonic herbs are not harsh and are not specifically medicinal in the conventional sense.
Tonic herbs come from China. They also come from North and South America, Europe, Indonesia, Tibet, Bhutan, Africa, New Zealand, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Russia and almost every region of the world. Tonic herbs are by their very nature safe and may be used for a lifetime.
