What kind of astragalus is good?

I believe that when the cold autumn and winter come, many friends will stew some health-preserving soups at home to achieve the effect of dispelling the cold and keeping warm. We can often find Astragalus in soups. From this we can see that Astragalus has a very good effect of nourishing yin and tonifying yang, and at the same time it does a good job of keeping us warm. But there are many types of Astragalus, so what kind of Astragalus is good? In the next period of time, please join me in reading the following content.

① Use about 5 to 10 grams of Astragalus every day, soak it in boiling water for 10 to 20 minutes and drink it as tea. It can be brewed repeatedly.

② Use about 30 grams of Astragalus every day, boil it in water and take it, or drink it as tea after boiling it in water. Use 30 grams of Astragalus and 15 grams of wolfberry, boil it in water and take it. It is more effective for people with weak Qi and blood.

③ Take about 50 grams of Astragalus, boil it into a soup, and use the soup to cook rice or porridge. It will become Astragalus rice or Astragalus porridge, which is also very beneficial.

④Some people like to add some astragalus when roasting meat, chicken or duck to increase the nourishing effect, and the effect is also good.

I believe that friends who have read the above content carefully will have more insights and experiences in their hearts. But I still want to remind everyone, because Astragalus is a tonic Chinese medicine after all, so we must pay attention to its standard amount when consuming it, and never consume it without restraint because of its tonic effect.
