Astragalus



 Also known as Huang Qi, this beautiful perennial, which is native to Mongolia and China, has been utilized in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. The dried root is said to help in cases of digestive disturbances, chronic fatigue, anemia, cold, flu, high blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and in the treatment of allergies. Astragalus can be boiled as tea or taken as a tincture and is a safe, immune-system-boosting herb for children.

          When purchasing any immune-boosting and post-onset cold or flu tincture, it is well worth it to make sure that astragalus is on the list of ingredients. Astragalus is known to be a vital and powerful herb for healing in its own right, as well as enhancing the healing power of the other herbs it might be paired with.
