Astragalus is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which does not have a clear hypoglycemic effect and can only assist in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. It can be used for patients with symptoms of qi deficiency, such as nervous exhaustion (mental fatigue and physical weakness). Astragalus is classified as a qi tonic in traditional Chinese medicine, targeting the symptoms caused by qi deficiency, and does not have a clear hypoglycemic effect. Thirstiness is a deficiency of both qi and yin (deficiency of both qi and yin), which is characterized by a combination of thirst, ability to eat and loose stools, lack of energy, weakness of the limbs, thinness, pale red tongue, white dry moss, and a weak pulse, etc. Astragalus can be used in combination with Poria cocos, Atractylodis macrocephala, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Mulleinia, Ge Ge Ge, Pogostemon cablin, Smallpox pollen, and Dioscorea sanguinaris to tonify qi and nourish yin and to produce fluids for thirst quenching (promoting the production of fluids for the alleviation of thirst). However, Astragalus should not be used in cases such as superficial solidity and evil. If you have symptoms, you should take the medicine under the guidance of a medical professional. Do not take the medicine blindly on your own to avoid delays or adverse reactions.
