Amazing Astragalus

Used commonly in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Astragalus has long been recognized as nourishing for the spleen and regenerative of qi.

The astragalus rhizome contains compounds called astragalosides, polysaccharides, Asparagin, Flavonoids, Linoleic, And linolenic acids. The most significantly studied compound in modern science that is derived from Astragalus is the astragalus polysaccharide (APS).

At present, some up to date and holistic oncologists apply injection with APS to assist in radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and play a synergistic role in reducing toxicity of these treatments.

Astragalus has also been studied and clinically applied as a beneficial herb for patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

These compounds are helpful vasodilators in angina and hypertension.

They can also enhance digestion while helping alleviate diarrhea.

As a potent adaptogen, my favorite application of astragalus rhizome is as an antibacterial, antiviral immunomodulator and immune enhancer. This herb can be very helpful for individuals who are not on immunosuppressant therapy and who do not have an allergy to the asteracea family - if they have longer recovery times and frequent colds.

☕️Give your immune system a boost and try astragalus rhizome dried and prepared as a tea up to three times a day.

🚨Caution: do not take with acyclovir or interleukin 2. Pregnant or nursing women should not use astragalus root. If you have an immune system disease such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or another autoimmune disease, you should not use astragalus roo
