Grown throughout Asia, astragalus has been used extensively in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Astragalus is a variety of pea native to China, Mongolia and North Korea. Recorded in “Shennong Bencao Jing” (The Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica), a classic of herbal medicine for Chinese practitioners, astragalus was known as Huang Qi, which means "yellow leader."
Listed among the superior class of herbs in classic texts, astragalus has been used for over 2,000 years!
Even today it is recognized as one of the 50 fundamental herbs of TCM.
According to ancient Chinese philosophy, this sweet and tepid herb was used to tonify the spleen and lungs, enhance blood flow, and improve “Yin” deficiency.
Astragalus was often used as a tonic to increase overall vitality in older people or those who feel weak or fatigued.
Modern Chinese practitioners tout the use of astragalus in supporting the immune system, promoting healthy blood circulation, and clearing retained water from the body.
It is recommended as both an immune enhancer and immune modulator.
Astragalus contains several beneficial compounds that have health-protecting benefits, including saponins, sterols, isoflavones and polysaccharides.
Astragalus is a powerful adaptogenic herb that heightens the immune system and may help activate T-cells, a type of white blood cell that plays an important role in human immune defenses.
Active compounds known as astragalisodes boost immune function by enhancing the production of immunoglobulin and stimulating the activity of macrophages, another type of white blood cell.
Astragalus also provides antioxidant activity to minimize free radical damage to the cardiovascular, nervous and respiratory systems, as well as the liver and kidneys.
Plus, astragalus appears to favorably modulate the gut microbiota.
