Generally speaking, we don’t use Chinese medicinal materials such as astragalus and angelica for a long time in our daily life. I only add some when making soup. But some friends pursue health preservation and like to drink Chinese medicine in water on a daily basis. So, can Astragalus and Angelica be consumed for a long time? In fact, generally speaking, it is not recommended. Because our physical constitution is always changing, if we drink blindly, it may induce disease. 1. Can I drink Astragalus and Angelica for a long time? Astragalus can cause internal heat, and it should be used with caution by those with yin deficiency and heat, and the dosage should not be too large. Angelica sinensis is forbidden to be taken by patients with excessive heat and bleeding, and should be used with caution by those with excessive dampness, fullness in the middle, and loose stools. This prescription mainly has the effect of replenishing blood and raising qi. It can be taken for a period of time by those with qi deficiency, anemia, or dizziness. It is not recommended to take it regularly because the medicine has a bias. You don't need to take it again when you feel better. The use of traditional Chinese medicine should be based on syndrome differentiation and treatment. Even tonic medicine can become poison if used improperly. When taking Astragalus, you should do so under the guidance of a doctor and in appropriate amounts according to your individual constitution. Astragalus should not be taken in large quantities, otherwise it will cause abdominal distension and loss of appetite. It is not suitable for people with cough and sputum, chest tightness due to food stagnation, cold and fever, yin deficiency and internal heat, heat and toxic sores, etc. No matter how good something is, you should consume it in moderation. So don't take too much or drink it for a long time. Moderation is best. 2. Benefits of drinking Astragalus and Angelica in water Astragalus and Angelica are common health-preserving herbs with great medicinal value. They play a positive and effective role on the human body. The combination of the two doubles the efficacy. 2.1. Replenish qi and blood. For friends with weak constitution, especially women, drinking water soaked with Astragalus and Angelica regularly can have a good effect of replenishing qi and blood. Many women often experience symptoms such as dysmenorrhea during menstruation, and drinking water soaked with astragalus and angelica can effectively alleviate this condition, have a good nourishing effect, and improve their complexion. 2.2. Promote blood circulation. Drinking water soaked with Astragalus and Angelica can promote blood circulation in the human body and speed up metabolism. Moreover, both Astragalus and Angelica can lower blood pressure. Some obese or high-blood pressure friends can drink them in moderation. They can also prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and play a positive role in the health development of the human body. 2.3. Diuretic and detoxifying. Drinking Astragalus and Angelica soaked in water can effectively expel residual toxins from the human body, and accelerate the body's metabolic rate through urination, which can play a positive role in the body's normal life activities, thereby enhancing the body's immune ability and improving physical fitness. You can brew Astragalus and Angelica with boiling water, or you can cook them in boiling water and drink them while they are hot for better results. |
