Astragalus is a native of China, Mongolia, and North Korea and is regarded as one of the top Qi tonics in the Daoist herbal system. It has a long history of use in Asian cultures.
Astragalus is said to support metabolic process, as well as the immunological and muscular systems.
Astragalus strengthens what the Chinese refer to as "Wei Qi" or "protective Qi," which is the energy that flows just below the skin's surface and acts as an immune system tonic.
Astragalus can be used as a lung tonic as it has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and assists in reducing colds and upper respiratory infections. It is also utilised to support spleen Qi, strengthen the liver, nurture a strong circulatory system, improve surface and deep immunity, and increase vitality.
The power of this herb to support the fundamental processes of life and encourage longevity and energy makes it perhaps the most astounding herb of all. Tonic herbalists in the Orient and now the West choose to take this root plant over all others.
One of the few herbs that is suggested for children is astragalus, a good tonic to keep in the home apothecary to support the immune system.
