Most people think that the effect of Chinese medicine, although slow, can treat various diseases. Everyone knows the method of drinking Astragalus soaked in water, so do you know what the effect of drinking Astragalus soaked in water is?

Astragalus can not only be used to make medicine, but also added to the diet. At the same time, soaking Astragalus in water is also the best choice. It can promote blood circulation in the human body and is very helpful for the treatment of diseases. So what are the effects of drinking Astragalus soaked in water?

The effects of drinking Astragalus in water:

The main pharmacological effects are "tonifying Qi and strengthening the exterior", "promoting diuresis", and "expelling toxins and promoting tissue regeneration". What is "invigorating Qi"? Astragalus can be used for any condition that is considered by Chinese medicine to be "Qi deficiency", "insufficient Qi and blood", or "sinking of middle Qi". Being weak, easily fatigued, and often feeling weak is often a manifestation of "Qi deficiency". Anemia is often caused by "deficiency of Qi and blood". For people with the above symptoms, it is beneficial to eat some astragalus in winter. Of course, it is best to take it under the guidance of a doctor.

Some people are prone to catching colds when the weather changes, which Chinese medicine calls "weak exterior". Astragalus can be used to strengthen the exterior. Regular consumption of Astragalus can prevent frequent colds. There is a famous prescription in Traditional Chinese Medicine called "Yupingfeng Powder", which contains three herbs, the main one being astragalus, which can be used to treat frequent colds.

People who are weak or old often have some edema in their lower limbs. If you suffer from "Qi deficiency", you can also take Astragalus regularly. People with chronic kidney disease may also often suffer from edema. Astragalus is sometimes a commonly used Chinese medicine during traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

The so-called "supporting poison and promoting tissue regeneration" means that the wound can recover easily after surgery, or that an abscess that has not healed for a long time can be made to fester and regenerate tissue.

When using Astragalus, you should take it under the guidance of a doctor and take it in appropriate amounts according to your individual constitution. There are many ways to take Astragalus. Here are a few:

1. Use about 30 grams of Astragalus every day and take it after decocting in water. Or boil it in water and drink it as tea. Use 30 grams of astragalus and 15 grams of wolfberry, decoct in water and take. It is more effective for people with weak qi and blood.

2. Take about 50 grams of astragalus, boil it into a soup, and use the decoction to cook rice or porridge. It will become astragalus rice or astragalus porridge, which is also very beneficial.

3. Some people like to add some astragalus when roasting meat, chicken or duck to increase the nourishing effect, and the effect is also good.

Astragalus can be soaked in water and drunk, but it must be freshly boiled water, so that the medicinal flavor can be brewed out. However, at most only three or four tenths of the medicinal effect can be extracted, which is a bit of a waste of medicinal resources. It is recommended to mainly decoct it for better results.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the effects of drinking Astragalus soaked in water. I hope that everyone can make sure whether their physical constitution is suitable when choosing Astragalus. Every medicine has side effects and is harmful. Not all medicines are suitable for consumption. Astragalus soaked in water can be drunk as tea, but it is necessary to distinguish each person's constitution.
