Can I drink water soaked with Huangzhi?

Traditional Chinese medicine has developed from ancient times to the present day, and there are many types of it. Many Chinese medicinal materials can not only be used as medicine to bring benefits to people, but many of them can also be soaked in water and drunk. Huangzhi is a relatively common Chinese medicinal material. So, can Huangzhi be soaked in water and drunk? We cannot give a hasty answer to this question before discussing it. Next, let us find out whether Huangzhi can be soaked in water and drunk?

Huangzhi is a leguminous plant and a commonly used Chinese medicine. Its main pharmacological effects are "tonifying Qi and strengthening the exterior", "promoting diuresis", and "expelling toxins and promoting tissue regeneration". What is "benefiting Qi"? Astragalus can be used for any condition that is considered by Chinese medicine to be "Qi deficiency", "Qi and blood deficiency", or "Zhongqi sinking". 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". Symptoms such as rectal prolapse and uterine prolapse are often considered to be "sinking of the middle qi." 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 taking Huangzhi, 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 Huangzhi. Here are a few:

1. Use about 30 grams of Radix Angelicae Dahuricae and Astragalus membranaceus every day and decoct them in water before taking. 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.
