Astragalus contains more than 40 saponosides, flavonoids, polysaccharides, trace elements, amino acids and coumarins. Astragalus is an antioxidant and an immunity stimulant: reduction in the production of free radicals, increase in superoxide dismutase and reduction in lipid peroxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstragalus is often used for its effects on immunity, the liver and the cardiovascular system.

More than 400 other species of native astragalus are found in North America, mainly concentrated in the west of the continent. Several of these species are edible, others are toxic to livestock (locoweds). Some species are toxic because of the selenium they contain. Astragalus americanus is the North American species that most closely resembles A. membranaceus. Astragalus is one of the major tonics of chi, it is therefore a key plant in the Chinese pharmacopoeia; we find mention of astragalus in the Shen Nong Ben Cao dating back 2000 years. In 1531, In the Medical Casebook of Shi-Shan, a great doctor of the time, we find a discussion on the use of astragalus in combination with ginseng. The concept of the adaptogen is relatively new to Westerners, but the Chinese have been working with this notion for millennia...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstragalus is a plant of endurance, resistance, strength, reconstruction, protection (during allopathic treatments against cancer for example). Astragalus keeps us moving and allows us to be more efficient in our daily lives. It is a plant for conditions of fatigue, exhaustion, letting go, or a plant to get through particularly demanding life trials.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 McGuffin Michael et al.
