Does Astragalus treat Yin deficiency or Yang deficiency?

Scutellaria baicalensis is a very common and popular Chinese medicinal material, but I believe that many people may not know about it. This plant can be used to treat many diseases, but we only take it according to the doctor's instructions, and it is difficult to conduct scientific research on the exact effects of a certain Chinese medicinal material. Therefore, little is known about the efficacy of Astragalus.

Nowadays, everyone pays great attention to health care and maintenance, and has also released many health-preserving medicated foods that are beneficial to health. Scutellaria baicalensis can play a big role in this. Therefore, in order to let everyone improve their understanding of Scutellaria baicalensis, I will share the efficacy of Astragalus with everyone here, hoping to help everyone's health.

1. Regulating superficial deficiency and night sweats: Some people have a relatively weak physical constitution and often sweat less. Their palms are always sweaty, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. In fact, this is also a manifestation of qi and blood deficiency. It can be treated with Scutellaria baicalensis combined with Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos and Saposhnikovia divaricata. Long-term use will be effective. This type of TCM treatment is very reasonable.

2. Regulating Yin deficiency and night sweats: The main manifestation is sweating a lot when sleeping, including some women in menopause. Therefore, Scutellaria baicalensis can be used together with Yin-tonifying medicines such as Rehmannia glutinosa and Ophiopogon japonicus. The actual effect is significant.

3. Treatment of edema caused by acute nephritis: Scutellaria baicalensis can be used to treat asthenic edema caused by deficiency of kidney yang qi, and is often used together with Stephania tetrandra, Coix seed, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, etc.

4. Treatment of edema caused by chronic nephritis and spleen and kidney deficiency: often used together with Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, and Coix seed.

5. Regulate weak Qi and blood: Many people have weak Qi and blood, which causes ulcers to remain sunken for a long time without breaking. Scutellaria baicalensis has the effect of promoting breaking and localizing the ulcers. It can also be used to treat carbuncles that have not broken out for a long time, and is often used together with the traditional Chinese medicine pangolin, sapodilla thorn, chuanxiong, and angelica dahurica.

6. Treatment of sores and ulcers: It can be used to clean ulcers and sore surfaces. It has the effect of regenerating tissue and healing the sores that have not healed for a long time. It is often used with honeysuckle, soapberry, and plantain. The concentrated liquid is used for cleaning and is equivalent to codonopsis pilosula and cinnamon powder.

7. Regulating lung deficiency syndrome: Scutellaria baicalensis is helpful to the health of the lungs, mainly by replenishing qi and blood. It can regulate and improve symptoms such as prolonged coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, fatigue, phlegm in the lungs and difficulty in coughing up phlegm. It is often combined with Aster tataricus, Coltsfoot, etc. to warm the lungs, clear the throat, and strengthen the lungs and treat lung qi deficiency.

8. Regulate Qi deficiency and weakness: Many people suffer from fatigue, sleepiness, Qi deficiency, anal prolapse, uterine prolapse, etc. due to insufficient Qi and blood. Scutellaria baicalensis can be used to replenish qi and blood and strengthen the spleen, and can be often used with Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, etc.; it is used to nourish blood, generate yang and lift the sunken, and is often used together with Codonopsis pilosula, Cimicifuga heracleifolia, Scutellaria baicalensis, raw licorice, etc. The actual effects are all very good.

The above are the effects of some Chinese medicinal materials. In some areas, Scutellaria baicalensis is regarded as a kind of dietary therapy and natural food. A long time ago, the folk saying "Drink Astragalus soup regularly to prevent disease and maintain health" was widely circulated. Scutellaria baicalensis is indeed a panacea for replenishing qi and blood, and it also has good disease prevention and health care effects. Therefore, it can be used when making health-preserving medicinal food.
