If the indications for Astragalus are met, such as internal heat and thirst (internal heat accompanied by symptoms such as excessive eating, drinking and urination), blood deficiency and atrophy, etc., Astragalus can be used during breastfeeding under the guidance of a doctor.
Astragalus tonifies qi and raises yang (tonifying qi to raise yang qi), consolidates the surface to stop sweating (stopping sweating by consolidating the surface of the muscle), induces diuresis to reduce swelling (relieving urination and eliminating edema), generates fluids and nourishes blood (replenishing the body’s fluids and blood), moves stagnation to promote paralysis, supports toxins and removes pus (discharging pus and toxins from the body), and restrains the sores to produce muscle growth (helping to heal the sores more quickly and promoting the growth of new flesh).
Astragalus is used for qi deficiency and weakness, loose stools (thin and unformed feces), Qi subsidence (deficiency of spleen and stomach qi, with visceral organs falling down and other manifestations), prolonged diarrhea and prolapse of the anus, blood in the stools and leakage of blood (excessive menstrual flow or drips and drops), sweating due to surface deficiency (due to the weak surface of the body and frequent sweating naturally), qi deficiency, edema, internal heat and thirst, blood deficiency, hemiplegia, paraplegia (inability of one side of the limbs to move at will), etc. It is also used in the treatment of sores, ulcers, and other diseases.
Astragalus should not be used in cases where the surface is solid and evil, sores and ulcers are at the beginning, or where heat and poison are still present after ulceration.
If there is any discomfort, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time. If medication is needed, it should be diagnosed by a doctor and the treatment should be standardized according to the doctor’s prescription.
