Jie represents the elders, people to sixty years old, can be called "Jie", so astragalus in traditional Chinese medicine, most like the respected old man, although it is not slow, but the role of the role is not ambiguous, so throughout the ages, successive generations of medical doctors are happy to make good use of.

Today we will talk about the efficacy of astragalus.

Of course, the following is just to throw in the towel, the effect of astragalus can be much more than that.

1, astragalus can replenish the gas, it is the gospel of the false

Li Shizhen in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", said astragalus is " the first medicine to replenish the gas."

The role of astragalus in replenishing qi is not as good as ginseng, but because of its gentle nature, it's not easy to make up for too much, so most of the people who are weak can use it.

People who usually feel tired, fatigue, can't get up the spirit, less speech, lazy, low voice shortness of breath can use a little astragalus brewing water to drink. The actual fact is that if you are tired of working or working to the point where you are panicked and short of breath, you can drink astragalus water and get some relief in no time.

People who are weak in qi and blood, and then add some angelica, astragalus, angelica can be in accordance with the ratio of 5:1, the combination of these two medicines is called angelica blood tonic soup, is also very famous in Chinese medicine, a soup recipe.

2, astragalus can reduce edema

Swollen means that there is water stopped there, the people who have a deficiency of qi or urinary incontinence is particularly prone to edema.

First of all, there is a deficiency of qi, Chinese medicine says that qi line is water line, qi stagnation is water stop. If there is a problem with the flow of qi, the flow of water will also be stagnant, resulting in edema. Secondly, if you can't urinate, the wastewater in your body can't be drained and blocked there, and your body will localize, especially the lower limbs, and swell up.

The astragalus replenishes the qi to the full, can make the stagnant water flow again, and can diuretic, after drinking the urine will become more, through the urine to bring the water out of the body. In addition, astragalus can also tonify the spleen, the spleen has the role of transportation, which includes transportation of water.

In the late Qing Dynasty doctor Lu Dingpu book "cold hut medical words" book, recorded such a medical case, said a woman, after the birth of the stomach swollen like a drum, unusual doctor took a look at the edema, with the use of water medicine, qi medicine, the situation is not only not better, but more serious. And then all the pulse, found that the woman's pulse is very weak, typical of the gas and water stop ah, so reuse of astragalus, while replenishing the deficiency, while the water, drink to the fifth day of the time, the swelling back, the pulse also became strong.

3, astragalus can enhance immunity

Modern medicine said immunity, in Chinese medicine is the positive gas, positive gas enough, people are not easy to get sick; positive gas is not enough, the outside world of the wind, cold, summer, humidity, dryness and fire six evils will be easy to come to the offense, the person will produce this or that kind of disease.

The "Neijing" mentions that the positive qi exists inside, the evil can not be dry.

So, how does this "righteousness" protect the human body from external evil? First of all, it will be divided into a team of people to the surface of the human muscle, that is, in the surface of the muscle cloth a layer of gas, called Wei Qi, if the human body is compared to a city, Wei Qi is the guard of the city's generals, once the discovery of the evil trying to get close to the time, and immediately give it to drive out.

So some people have a cold when the temperature drops, a seasonal change is easy to trigger rhinitis, in fact, is the guard of the city's generals lax, Chinese medicine is also called the Wei Qi is not solid, which gives the opportunity to the external evil to take advantage of the opportunity to enter.

Then look at the Wei Qi, mainly by the spleen and stomach transportation and transportation, and then through the lungs to the whole body, and Astragalus big complement spleen and lung Qi, is to replenish the human body's positive energy, is to enhance immunity.

4, astragalus can alleviate dryness

Abdomen qi function is not enough, drink in the water can not be well used up, people will feel dry.

It's like having a pot of water on the stove, you don't open the fire, the water won't have any change, but if you burn a slight fire under the bottom of the pot, the water in the pot will slowly get hot, boil, and then steam out the hot air, the hot air rises, and the lid of the pot becomes very moist, which is the result of the fluid being gasified.

Often feel dry mouth, dry throat, dry skin, drink a lot of water does not matter how many people can use a little astragalus water to drink, you can also add some yam into it.

5, astragalus can stop sweating, mainly used for qi deficiency sweating

The Chinese medicine is divided into two kinds of sweating, a kind of night sweating, a kind of self-sweating.

Simply put, after going to sleep at night, more sweat is called night sweating. The daytime sweat is called self-sweat, the so-called self-sweat, not because of the heat, not because of strenuous exercise, but the sweat just can't stop coming out.

No matter what you do, you can't do anything about it,

No matter what you do, you can't do anything about it,

No matter what you do, you can't do anything about it.

As I said earlier, there is a layer of qi on the surface of the human muscle, this layer of qi protects the human body from external evils, and at the same time is also in charge of the opening and closing of the pores, qi is weak, qi's function of the opening and closing of the pores will be restricted, the pores are always open, and the sweat will naturally flow out. Astragalus benefits the qi and strengthens the surface, allowing the pores to open and close at the right time, so that sweat will not flow out casually.

6, astragalus astringent sores raw muscle

Skin surface wounds, delayed healing, go to find astragalus, it can astringent sores, that is, to let the wound healing, can be raw muscle, that is, to let the new muscle grow out.

Whether the wound is festering or not, astragalus can be used.

Why does it have this effect? Because astragalus tonic spleen qi, spleen master muscle, muscle growth is good or not, all depends on the spleen and stomach, spleen and stomach qi enough, it can push the new.

The regular dosage of astragalus in water is about 10 grams, which can be repeatedly brewed until the taste is weak. There are now also proprietary Chinese medicines called Astragalus Granules or Astragalus Oral Liquid.

However, although astragalus is good, but be aware that there are four kinds of people can not be used:

Hot people do not use, including Yin deficiency internal heat, dampness and heat, etc.; stagnant people do not use; people do not need to have stagnation of food, the "Herbal Harmfulness", "astragalus extremely stagnant appetite, chest and stomach is not wide, intestinal and gastric stagnation of the person do not use." Cold and fever, menstruation, pregnancy should not be taken.
