Astragalus membranaceus is warm in nature and has an upward medicinal effect (tonifying qi and raising yang). At the same dose, the power of replenishing qi is greater than that of Codonopsis pilosula. Clinically, the medicinal power and potency are difficult to monitor, and the compatibility is difficult to fully coordinate, making It has great limitations in its use in internal medicine; the climate in spring is warm and the hot and humid air is strong, so the use of astragalus can easily lead to the use of heat to aid heat, which is especially not conducive to the full development of the medicinal power of astragalus; more importantly, the use of astragalus in clinical TCM It is easy to replenish fire (warm and replenish qi) and help evil (disease or some pathogenic factors). Once there is a lack of accurate and comprehensive syndrome differentiation and the technology to control its side effects, the tonic may turn into poison, which is very harmful.
