1. Astragalus is a type of Astragalus. The so-called Astragalus refers to the Astragalus that grows in the north. It is one of the many varieties of Astragalus, which means that the two are inclusively related.

2. Since there are many types of Astragalus, its function range is also wide. In fact, the functions of Astragalus are included in Astragalus. Both of them are mainly used to treat deficiency diseases. The specific differences are as follows:

Astragalus

1. Spontaneous sweating caused by superficial deficiency: It is mostly used for spontaneous sweating caused by physical deficiency and superficial weakness. If the superficial qi is not solid and sweating occurs, use Astragalus combined with Atractylodes and Fangfeng to treat it. It will be effective after taking it for a long time. The prescription is like Yupingfeng powder; it can also be mixed with floating wheat, ephedra root, etc.

2. Night sweats due to yin deficiency: It can be used together with yin-nourishing medicines such as rehmannia glutinosa and Ophiopogon japonicus.

3. Acute nephritis edema: used for deficiency edema caused by insufficient Yang Qi, and is often used in combination with Fangji, Poria, Atractylodes, etc., such as Fangji Huangqi Decoction.

4. Chronic nephritis, edema, spleen and kidney deficiency: often used together with Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Poria cocos.

5. Weak Yang Qi: used for sores and ulcers that have not ruptured for a long time and become invaginated. It has the effect of promoting ulceration and localization. For carbuncle that does not penetrate the head for a long time, it is often used together with pangolin, sapodilla, angelica, and chuanxiong.

6. Sores and ulcers: they do not close for a long time, and have the effect of promoting muscle growth and closing. It is often used with Yinhua, Saponaria, Dibu, etc. For cleaning pus, it can be used equally with Codonopsis pilosula and cinnamon.

7. Lung Qi deficiency syndrome: prolonged coughing and wheezing, shortness of breath and fatigue, and phlegm accumulated in the lungs and unable to be coughed up. It is often combined with aster, coltsfoot, etc. to warm the lungs, relieve asthma, and strengthen lung qi. The spleen produces phlegm and the lungs store phlegm, so Taiyin is strengthened to eliminate phlegm. Astragalus nourishes Qi, so it is especially good at treating Qi deficiency.

8. Qi deficiency and weakness: fatigue and weakness, or depression of Qi, anal prolapse, or uterine prolapse. To replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, it is often combined with Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes, etc.; for replenishing qi and raising yang and lifting depression, it is often combined with Codonopsis pilosula, Cimicifuga, Bupleurum, Zhigancao, etc.

Astragalus membranaceus

1. Treat spontaneous sweating and external symptoms of qi deficiency caused by qi deficiency and weak external defense. Clinically, Yupingfeng Powder is made from Astragalus, Fangfeng, and Atractylodes, and is used to treat spontaneous sweating due to superficial deficiency and those who are susceptible to wind and cold.

Principle: The lungs are combined with the fur. If it is deficient, the joints will not be dense and it will be difficult to absorb body fluids. Astragalus enters the lungs and replenishes Qi deficiency. When the Qi is abundant, it can capture the ghost gate and keep evil spirits away.

2. Symptoms of spleen deficiency, weakness and fatigue, diarrhea, depression of qi, organ prolapse, lack of appetite and indigestion. It is often used with ginseng or dangshen, atractylodes, poria, yam, etc. to treat spleen deficiency and diarrhea. It can be used with Cimicifuga, Bupleurum and Ginseng to treat organ prolapse, such as Buzhong Yiqi Decoction.

Principle: The spleen governs dampness. If the spleen is deficient, body fluid cannot be transported to the lungs, so the middle burner is trapped by dampness, and the dampness tends to be downward, so the lower burner is dampened and causes loose stools. If the spleen is deficient, it will be difficult to help the stomach function well, so it will be difficult to eat and drink less. This medicine enters the Taiyin of the hands and feet, so if the lung qi is strong, it can regulate the water channels and disperse the essence to the surface of the muscles. If the spleen is strong, the yin essence can be transported and transferred to the lungs.

3. Lung qi deficiency syndrome. Coughing and wheezing for a long time, shortness of breath, mental fatigue, phlegm accumulated in the lungs and unable to be coughed up. It is often combined with aster, coltsfoot, etc. to warm the lungs, relieve asthma, and strengthen lung qi. The spleen generates phlegm and the lungs store phlegm, so it strengthens Taiyin to eliminate phlegm. This product is good at replenishing qi, so it is especially good at treating qi deficiency.

Extended information:

黄stilbene It is best not to use more than 15 grams of astragalus each time soaked in water, and to take it in two or three times to avoid overdose.

Taking astragalus can very well improve memory loss, dizziness and fatigue, etc. However, if you take excessive amounts of astragalus water, not only will it not improve the dizziness, but it will also lead to serious illness. That is to say, the dizziness becomes more severe and the memory is not restored well.
