“Cistanche in Your Pants” aka “The Stalk Enlarger” and a Favorite of Genghis Khan
The roots and stems of a desert plant, Cistanche tubulosa, is said to not only improve performance in the bedroom but even size.
In The Essence of Medical Prescriptions, a Chinese physician in the tenth-century, had many formulas designed to help with performance in the bedroom and male potency. Of these, 80% contained cistanche. You can even notice the phallic shape it has (that’s called The Doctrine of Signatures)…
The Legend of Genghis Khan and Cistanche
As a legend there are several versions of this story, but here is one of them:
In 1190, Genghis Khan’s army was locked in what came to be known as the ‘Battle of the Thirteen Wings’ as he sought to unify Mongolia. His army was trapped on a plateau, fatigued and demoralized.
White horses then came down from the heavens of which the Khan and his men slit the throats. Blood spilled on the ground, from which sprang cistanche. The army consumed this, replenishing their strength and vitality. After this sign from god they went on to be victorious.
In addition to this legend, it is said that Genghis Khan consumed cistanche daily. His stamina and spread of his genes is said to make 8% of Asia’s populations his descendants. This is one in 200 men worldwide![1]
