Astragalus Soup has the effect of benefiting qi and supporting pus, diarrhea and detoxification, and is mainly used to treat lung abscesses. It is different from the TCM treatments needed for Tourette’s syndrome, so Astragalus Soup is not usually used to treat Tourette’s syndrome. The adverse reactions and contraindications of taking Astragalus Soup are not clear at this time.
Tourette’s syndrome is the name of a Western medical condition, which mainly manifests as involuntary motor tics in children, such as blinking, pouting, twitching of the nose, etc. Chinese medicine believes that the onset of tics is mostly related to liver-blood insufficiency and internal movement of the liver wind, and that Chinese medicines can be taken in order to dispel the wind, stop spasms, and alleviate the patient’s tic symptoms.
At present, there is no information to show that Astragalus Soup has the effect of treating tics, patients with Tourette’s syndrome should consult a TCM practitioner for diagnosis and treatment, and prescribe symptomatic herbal prescriptions to be taken according to the specific situation.
