Qualities
Cuscuta is commonly used in tonic formulations designed to benefit Yin and Yang Jing. It is most commonly used to strengthen the uro-genital functions. It is used to treat impotence, premature ejaculation, frequent urination, and leukorrhea as well as ear ringing and aching lower back, symptoms which often accompany deficient Kidney conditions that cause sexual weakness.

Cuscuta gently but efficiently helps tonify both Yin and Yang, therefore it is a very useful, safe and important herb. People suffering from Kidney Yin deficiency will tend to experience symptoms of dizziness, blurred vision, spots in front of the eyes and ringing in the ears. Habitual consumption of Cuscuta can improve vision and clear away these symptoms.

Cuscuta will build Yin Essence (Yin Jing) and thus it is considered to be an anti-aging herb. It is used to build sperm, increase fertility in both men and women and is listed as an aphrodisiac in all traditional Chinese pharmacopoeias.

Cuscuta will be used with either Yin or Yang tonic herbs depending on the specifics of the person's condition. Cuscuta is almost always combined with Cnidium seed because they enhance one another. Cuscuta helps consolidate the Essence (Yin Jing) and thus slows down aging and prevents loss of bodily fluids. This type of herb is critical in any program designed to rejuvenate the body and to prolong life.

Primary Combinations
Combine with:

1. Eucommia bark, Dioscorea and Cibotium to fortify the Kidney, to strengthen the lower back and to treat lower back and knee pain
2. Schizandra fruit, Cnidium fruit, Ligustrum fruit and Astragalus seed to treat impotence
3. Codonopsis, White Atractylodes and Dioscorea to treat chronic diarrhea due to Spleen deficiency

Varieties and Grading
Fresh, aromatic Cuscuta is best.

Contraindications
Not to be used when experiencing strong heat patterns.
