Hello, Astragalus is a kind of Chinese medicine we commonly use, its effects are: tonifying qi, fixing the surface, stopping sweating, diuretic and swelling, and draining pus. Its nature and flavor, slightly warm and sweet.

Chinese medicine is concerned about evidence-based treatment, if you are a qi deficiency or deficiency cold body, especially the kind of yellow face and deficiency floaters, long-term use is generally no side effects.

However, if you have a hot constitution or a Yin deficiency and fire, taking Astragalus will make you prone to fire, mouth and tongue sores, red face, dizziness and swelling of the head, and high blood pressure.
