Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus), also known as Goat's Thorn or Huang Qi, is a revered adaptogenic herb in the Fabaceae family, originating from China's Sichuan province and used for over 2,000 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Renowned for its moistening, warming, and sweet energetics, it acts as an adrenal tonic, antiviral, blood tonic, chi tonic, digestive aid, diuretic, hypotensive, immune stimulant, and vasodilator, strengthening the body during and after illnesses. Rich in polysaccharides, saponins, and flavonoids, astragalus supports immune function, heart health, and potentially anti-aging and diabetic kidney health, as suggested by preliminary research. Commonly consumed in teas, capsules, or soups.
Not recommended for people with congestion, extreme tension, overactive immune systems, or people taking blood thinners. Always consult with a health care professional or pharmacist before taking herbs in combination with pharmaceutical drugs.*
