General Info:
Astragalus is a perennial plant and a member of the legume family.
This plant grows to be about *6 to *6 inches tall, with long stems,
pointed leaves, and purple flowers. But the important part is the
white root, usually harvested from *-year-old plants, which turns
yellow as it dries. There are over 2,**0 species of Astragalus, but
Astragalus membranaceus and Astragalus mongholicus are the two
mostly used for health purposes.
Astragalus is used to support and enhance the immune system, and to
provide support for the upper respiratory system and the digestive
system. It may help maintain normal blood pressure levels and help
blood vessels remain relaxed, as well as support liver function. It
is also used to encourage strength and stamina.
Astragalus contains a number of compounds, including antioxidant
bioflavonoids, polysaccharides, triterpenoid saponins, glycosides,
amino acids, and trace minerals. It has also been found to
stimulate the production of interferons, which are part of the
body\'s defense system.
