So what are the effects and functions of Astragalus melongena?

Astragalus membranaceus is an edible fungus with rich nutrition and high medicinal value, which is cultivated by using the processing waste of the traditional Chinese medicine Astragalus membranaceus as ingredients and making culture medium.

Function: Tonifying Qi and strengthening the exterior, detoxifying and draining pus, and moisturizing the skin.

Efficacy: psoriasis, allergic dermatitis, acne, neurodermatitis, acute and chronic eczema, tinea pedis and other stubborn skin diseases.

In addition to actively cooperating with doctors for treatment, psoriasis patients should pay attention to the following in their daily lives:

1. Three major taboos: avoid alcohol, seafood, and spicy food. There are different opinions about dietary restrictions. Some people believe that dietary restrictions should be determined based on individual differences. Simply restricting diet will cause the body to lose a lot of nutrients, which is not conducive to the improvement of the disease.

2. Hemolytic streptococcal infection is a predisposing factor of this disease. Try to avoid colds, tonsillitis and pharyngitis as much as possible. Once it occurs, active symptomatic treatment should be given to avoid aggravating psoriasis. Tonsillectomy is often recommended for patients whose tonsils are suppurated and the disease is induced or aggravated. Tonsillectomy should be performed with caution.

3. Eliminate mental stress, avoid excessive fatigue, and pay attention to rest.

4. Living conditions should be dry, ventilated and convenient for bathing.

5. In daily medication, antimalarial drugs and beta-blockers can induce or aggravate the disease.

6. Endocrine changes and pregnancy can induce this disease and aggravate it.

7. Eat more foods rich in vitamins, such as fresh fruits and vegetables.

8. When cleaning the affected area, rub it gently and do not peel off the dandruff forcibly to avoid local infection, such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which will affect treatment and prolong the course of the disease.

9. After psoriasis is temporarily cured clinically, its immune function, microcirculation, and metabolism have not yet fully returned to normal, and generally take 2-3 months to recover. Therefore, after clinical recovery, that is, after the surface skin lesions have completely subsided, you should continue to take 2-3 courses of medication for consolidation to make the virus clear more thoroughly to avoid recurrence.

The above is an introduction to the effects and functions of Astragalus melongena. Many friends have heard that they cannot eat Astragalus melongena after suffering from psoriasis. In fact, this statement is very wrong. Psoriasis patients can eat some Astragalus membranaceus in moderation. This will not only not affect the condition, but will also be of certain help.
