Explanation of the meaning of porridge: Cistanche deserticola, also known as Cistanche deserticola and Dayun, is the fleshy stem with scaly leaves of the annual parasitic herb Cistanche deserticola of the Orobanchaceae family. It is an excellent food and medicine and is known as the "desert ginseng".

According to Chinese medicine, Cistanche deserticola is sweet, salty and warm in nature, and enters the kidney and large intestine meridians. It has the functions of nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang, moistening the intestines and relieving constipation. As early as in the "Ben Jing", it was listed as a "top-grade" medicinal material, saying that it "tastes sweet and slightly warm, cures five kinds of labor and seven kinds of injuries, nourishes the middle, nourishes the five internal organs, strengthens yin, benefits essence and qi, and lightens the body after long-term use". "Rihuazi Bencao" says that it "treats male impotence, child impotence, moisturizes the five internal organs, grows muscles, warms the waist and knees, treats male spermatorrhea, hematuria, dripping, leucorrhea and genital pain". "Bencao Huiyan" says that "Cistanche deserticola nourishes the gate of life, nourishes kidney qi, and replenishes essence and blood. Men with cold Danyuan and long-term yang, and women with Chong and Ren disorders and untreated yin qi, this is a mild tonic, warm but not hot, tonic but not harsh, warm but not dry, smooth but not leaking, so it has the name of calmness". Cook it into porridge and drink it. As the Compendium of Materia Medica says, it "replenishes fatigue, treats semen loss and dark complexion". It has obvious therapeutic effects on spleen and kidney yang deficiency, middle yang deficiency, coldness in the lower abdomen, cold pain in the epigastrium, impotence and premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea and enuresis, yang deficiency and cold constipation, etc.
