What is the difference between Astragalus and moxibustion

I've been feeling a bit upset lately and have no energy at all. Aren’t Astragalus and Astragalus moxibustion the same medicine? My mother asked me to eat some astragalus. Only then did I realize that astragalus and moxibustion astragalus are not the same medicinal materials, and they treat different diseases. Astragalus is a yellowish-brown cylinder with many wrinkles on the outside and dark-brown spots on the surface. It is better for people with qi deficiency to drink it in water, which can replenish qi and blood. As for the difference between moxibustion astragalus and astragalus, I will tell you now.

Raw Astragalus is good at strengthening the Wei and consolidating the exterior, expelling toxins and promoting tissue regeneration, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. It is often used for spontaneous sweating due to weak exterior Wei or for weak body that is prone to colds, edema due to Qi deficiency, and carbuncles that do not ulcerate or ulcerate but do not heal. Usually, a weak constitution, easy fatigue, and frequent feeling of weakness are often a manifestation of "Qi deficiency". Anemia is often caused by "deficiency of Qi and blood".

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.

Moxibustion of Astragalus membranaceus is sweet, warm and moist, and is good at replenishing qi and tonifying the middle. It is often used for spleen and lung qi deficiency, poor appetite, loose stools, shortness of breath and fatigue, or chronic diarrhea and rectal prolapse due to qi sinking, uterine prolapse, and bleeding due to qi deficiency and inability to absorb blood, such as bloody stool and metrorrhagia. It can also be used for qi deficiency constipation.

Roasted Astragalus membranaceus can replenish Qi and nourish the body, and is used for Qi deficiency, fatigue, loss of appetite, loose stools, replenishing fire, aiding Yang, guiding fire back to its source, dispersing cold, relieving pain, activating blood circulation and dredging menstruation. It is used for impotence, uterine coldness, cold pain in the heart and abdomen, vomiting and diarrhea due to deficiency and cold, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and warming the meridians and dredgeing the vessels. The specific effects are as follows: 1. Astragalus membranaceus promotes body metabolism. Astragalus membranaceus enhances cellular physiological metabolism and can achieve the effect of cell regulation. 2. Astragalus membranaceus can also promote the renewal of serum and liver protein, promote protein metabolism, and improve cardiac function. Roasted Astragalus membranaceus has a strengthening contraction effect on the normal heart. The cardiotonic effect is more obvious on the heart that is exhausted due to poison or fatigue, which increases the amplitude of cardiac contraction and increases the amount of blood discharged.

The above is what I know about the differences between Astragalus and Moxibustion Astragalus. Most people, like me, think that the two medicinal materials are the same, but the fact is that they are two different. Each one I introduced above has different effects. You can read it carefully. You can take some Chinese herbal medicine appropriately when symptoms appear, but you should eat less at other times.
