Benefits
1.Boosts Your Immune System As an adaptogen, astragalus can stimulate a depressed or burdened immune system. Chronic stress, as well as consuming large amounts of caffeine, sugar, or alcohol, can suppress immune function and make you more vulnerable to colds, flu, and other infections. Astragalus root seems to jumpstart the various immune cells and their functions, causing white blood cells to circulate in the body and mitigate threats more effectively.
2. Be Good for Heart Disease Astragalus may have a diuretic effect which would lower blood pressure and it may cause blood vessels to relax.
3.May Alleviate Side Effects of Chemotherapy When given intravenously in a hospital setting, astragalus may help alleviate nausea and vomiting in those undergoing chemotherapy.
4. Lowers Stress Levels In Chinese medicine, astragalus is associated with the “earth” element. It’s considered an adaptogen because it promotes homeostasis in response to stressors and helps the body adapt to stress.
5.Helps Normalize Blood Sugar Levels Astralagus root is a staple anti-diabetic herb prescribed in traditional Chinese medicine, and modern studies have identified various plant compounds like flavonoids and polysaccharides in astragalus that are responsible for its effects on blood sugar. These medicinal molecules improve insulin sensitivity, helping to regulate and normalize blood glucose levels.
