Cistanche porridge has been used to treat constipation in the elderly for more than 350 years. Zhang Lu, a doctor in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, said in "Ben Jing Feng Yuan": "Cistanche, dryness and constipation in the elderly, it is suitable to cook porridge." Cistanche can not only be cooked into porridge, but the ancients also used it fresh as food. In March every year, harvest fresh Cistanche, scrape off the scales, wash with wine, remove the black juice, cut into thin slices, and make soup with taro and mutton. Its taste is "extremely good, beneficial to people, and eating it is better than taking tonic medicine."
