Astragalus Root , also known as Astragalus membranaceus , has been a foundational herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine for hundreds of years. It is included in formulas to support Wei Qi (Chi), or the conceptual “shield” which serves as a primary defense mechanism against pernicious threats to the system.*Astragalus is sweet and nourishing, often included in recipes for soups which are used for convalescence and general strengthening of the system. In TCM it is said to tonify the “spleen” and hence is used for fatigue linked to decreased appetite. It is part of the Milk Vetch or Fabaceae family. It is traditionally used in its dried powdered form or as a strong decoction, made from boiling the dried root in water for an extended period.*Astragalus , which contains a wide array of constituents including flavonoids, sapponins, polysaccharides, free form amino acids, essential fatty acids and trace minerals. The triterpenoid sapponins known as astragalosides support the integrity of mucous membranes and epithelial cells in the respiratory tract through an antioxidant mechanism. The polysaccharides are of particular interest for their immune supporting properties. Astragalus is shown to effect non-specific defenses such as promoting macrophage and monocyte function as well as interferon activity. It also supports deep immune function by promoting natural killer cell and t-cell function. It appears especially effective when immune function is stressed by environmental or endogenous challenges.*
