What is astragalus?
Astragalus is derived from the root of the Astragalus membranaceus plant. It has been used in China for centuries as an adaptogen and restorative tonic.* It is also considered a sweet, warming herb with effects on lung, spleen and heart meridians, in Chinese medicine.*
An adaptogen is a substance that can help the body adapt to stress, bringing back homeostasic balance after an internal or external stimulus. In traditional Chinese medicine, astragalus is combined with other adaptogenic herbs such as angelica, ginseng or licorice, and prepared as a very strong tea.
