Latin Name : Astragalus Membranaceus

Origin Country: China

Astragalus is a plant within the Leguminosae family, with a very long history as an immune system booster and disease fighter. It is rich in flavonoids, such as quercetin and phytosterols. Astragalus is especially useful for strengthening the body against viral infections of the respiratory tract and heart through stimulation of interferon production in the body.

–  Astagalus acts as an Anti-Inflammatory: The composition of the ankle in polysaccharides and saponins gives it a strong anti-inflammatory effect.

–  Boosts the Immune System: It has the ability to enhance the action of the immune system, as it affects the ability of T cells and the body’s immune response. For this reason it is used to strengthen the body and treat colds and viral infections, especially of the upper immune system and bronchitis.

–  Protects the Cardiovascular System: Astragalus flavonoids help and enhance the body’s antioxidant capacity and prevent the appearance of atherosclerotic plaque in blood vessels.

–  Diabetes: The astragalus appears to play a role in the regulation of serum glucose, polysaccharides, saponins and flavonoids exert hypoglycemic activity by increasing insulin sensitivity but also improving insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells.

–  Contains Antioxidative and Anti-Aging Capabilities: Thanks to its synthesis in flavonoids, the ankle has a strong antioxidant effect. Neutralizes the action of free radicals by protecting cells from oxidative damage.

To make an infusion, place 1-2 teaspoons of astragalus powder in a tea infuser or teapot or mug for each cup of tea you intend to brew. Cover with boiling water. Place on the lid (or cover your cup with a saucer). Allow the mixture to steep for 10 'to 15' minutes or overnight. Then strain the tea and serve. Drink 1-3 cups of tea a day Add if you want honey, milk or lemon wedge for flavour. You can add astragalus to smoothies, yogurt or a glass of water. You should only take astragalus for four weeks at a time. Be sure to take a one-week break before resuming use.
Although astragalus is generally considered safe to use medicinally, consuming more than the recommended dosage may suppress the immune system. So you should avoid using astragalus if you are taking immune-suppressing drugs. In any case you should consult with your healthcare doctor before using any herb especially if you’re taking other medications or have health problems.
