Raw astragalus is used to stop sweating by consolidating the surface of the muscle, to relieve water retention and swellings, and to heal sores and promote the growth of new flesh. It is also used for treating colds, sores and ulcers. Raw Astragalus is effective in stopping sweating by consolidating the surface of the body, draining pus and toxins from the body, inducing diuresis and eliminating edema. It is often used in treating sores and ulcers that do not ulcerate or do not converge after a long period of ulceration, colds and flu, insufficient Wei qi (the positive qi that defends the surface of the body), spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the day, aggravated by sweating with a little movement), and oedema. Roasted Astragalus is known for benefiting qi and tonifying the middle, and is often used for people with low food intake and loose stools and those with qi deficiency and fatigue. The adverse reactions and contraindications of this product are not clear at present; the precautions are that it is not suitable to be used when the surface is solid and the evil is in full bloom, and the heat and poison are still in full bloom after sores and ulcers are collapsed. If you need to use raw astragalus, it should be applied under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and should not be taken on its own to avoid adverse consequences.
