The History of the Astragalus Root

Astragalus, traditionally known as huáng qí or milkvetch, has a rich history of healing in Asian cultures. Native to Mongolia, China, and North Korea, it has been used in herbalist practices for over 2,000 years. Its Chinese name, huáng qí, means “yellow leader,” a nod to this plant’s high regard in herbalism. Astragalus root was introduced to North America in 1925 under the USDA’s Plant Introduction Office. The seed is still readily accessible for any interested gardeners and holistic medicine practitioners. Etanicals’ Astragalus powder takes the power of the Astragalus root and puts it into an easily-digestible form that can be placed into capsules or made into a cup of tea.

What is Astragalus Root Powder Used For?

The intrigue of Astragalus is enduring. The root generates a great deal of research interest for its immune-supporting properties and potential ability to control blood sugar levels and improve kidney function. Astragalus contains Astragalosides. These antioxidants are thought to support the integrity of the respiratory tract. In addition, the polysaccharides found in Astragalus (also found in Turkey Tail mushrooms) have immune-boosting abilities. Traditionally, Astragalus was used in Eastern medicine to stimulate the spleen, liver, lungs, circulatory, and urinary systems. Some also use it to manage osteoarthritis, asthma, and nervous conditions. It may also help lower blood sugar and blood pressure, however evidence for its efficacy is purely anecdotal.
