If there is no indication is not recommended to drink astragalus water for a long time. In addition, the active ingredients of Chinese medicine in water are limited, and the decoction method is recommended.
Astragalus has the effects of tonifying qi and elevating yang, consolidating the surface to stop sweating (stopping sweating by consolidating the muscular surface), generating fluids and nourishing blood, inducing diuresis to reduce swelling, supporting toxins to produce muscle (expelling poisonous evils to promote muscle growth and wound healing), promoting stagnation and paralysis (making paralyzed meridians smooth), and astringing sores to produce muscle (helping the sores to heal more quickly and promoting the growth of new flesh).
It can be used to treat diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, edema due to qi deficiency, spontaneous sweating due to surface deficiency (frequent natural sweating due to weakness of the muscle surface), loose stools due to low food intake (scanty and unshaped feces), sagging of the middle qi (deficiency of the spleen and stomach qi, with manifestations of internal organs falling down, etc.), uterine prolapse, prolapse, hemorrhagic menstrual bleeding, and leakage of blood from the bowels (excessive menstruation or dripping of menstrual flow).
The adverse reactions and contraindications of Astragalus are not yet clear. Note that it is contraindicated in solid cases and those with yin and yang deficiency. If there is no indication is not recommended to drink astragalus water for a long time.
If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to consult the hospital in time to avoid delaying the condition.
