In daily life, there are also many people who prefer to soak astragalus in water for health. They think that drinking Astragalus membranaceus water can not only replenish lung and qi, but also enhance the body's resistance, thus achieving the purpose of health care.
However, some people will have acne, dry mouth and even nosebleeds when using Astragalus membranaceus. Everyone will think it's strange. Why? Now, let's talk to you. Why can't Astragalus get angry?
Why does eating Astragalus get angry?
In traditional Chinese medicine, drugs can be divided into four categories according to their medicinal properties: warm, hot, cold and cool, and each traditional Chinese medicine has its medicinal properties.
China Pharmacopoeia records that Astragalus membranaceus is warm and sweet, and has the functions of diuresis and detoxification, expelling pus and benefiting qi, and consolidating exterior. Therefore, the medicinal properties of Astragalus membranaceus are warm, and these drugs have the effect of warming and tonifying, so they can play a role in eliminating or relieving cold syndrome.
But this medicine has an obvious feature, that is, it is easy to get angry after eating; In addition, for people with fever in the body, such as damp heat, obvious food stagnation, excessive fire due to yin deficiency, excessive yang heat, etc., once taking Astragalus, the symptoms will become more and more serious.

Often in order to weaken the warmth of Astragalus membranaceus, it is often combined with some drugs with cold and cooling effects to make the medicinal properties of Astragalus membranaceus peaceful.
This can not only retain the original efficacy of Astragalus membranaceus, but also avoid the symptoms of excessive internal heat.
For example, astragalus often eats with chrysanthemum: chrysanthemum is slightly cold, which can not only relieve the symptoms of astragalus getting angry, but also play the role of invigorating qi, calming the liver and improving eyesight; Astragalus membranaceus and honeysuckle are taken together: honeysuckle is cold, which not only improves the symptoms of Astragalus membranaceus getting angry, but also has the effects of invigorating qi, consolidating exterior, clearing heat and detoxifying; Similar common cold medicines include Coptidis Rhizoma, Lycium barbarum, Dandelion, Poria, Lotus, Gardenia, Bitter Melon Tablets, etc.
