Astragalus is more suitable for people with weak temper, heavy moisture, easy edema and soft muscles, especially abdominal muscles. However, thin and strong people should not take it. However, for those with excess evil, stagnation of qi and dampness, stagnation of food accumulation, excessive heat and toxicity at the beginning of carbuncle or after collapse, and hyperactivity of yang due to yin deficiency, it is necessary to stop taking drugs. We should also pay attention to reasonable collocation when using drugs.
Astragalus membranaceus is not suitable for colds and menstrual periods. People with yin deficiency, damp-heat and excessive toxic heat are easy to have adverse reactions with Astragalus membranaceus, and should be banned. This is because Astragalus membranaceus is sweet and slightly warm, which will help to clear heat for patients who are easy to hurt Yin due to yin deficiency and promote blood circulation. Patients with damp-heat and excessive heat toxicity are prone to stagnation of pathogenic factors and aggravate their condition. If you must take Astragalus membranaceus, you must use it in combination, not alone.
Generally speaking, ordinary people should not eat astragalus in spring. Because spring is the season of hair growth, the human body needs to declare hair, and taking astragalus is not conducive to its declaration. Just like not eating astragalus when you have a cold. Because Astragalus membranaceus is duplicitous, it can help the body close the door and prevent the invasion of foreign evils. However, when the body has felt the evil of the outside world, it will become a closed door, keeping the disease in the body and unable to vent.
Astragalus membranaceus is a good medicine for invigorating qi blindly. If used correctly and reasonably, it has a powerful effect and remarkable curative effect. However, it must be noted that the medicinal properties of Astragalus membranaceus are on the high side (invigorating qi and rising yang). In spring and summer, the climate is warm and humid. If you take astragalus at this time, it is easy to help heat with heat; Moreover, after the clinical application of Astragalus membranaceus, it is easier to tonify fire and help evil spirits. As a result, there are symptoms of "getting angry", such as blushing, red eye, sore throat, elevated blood pressure or dizziness.
When patients with yin deficiency must use Astragalus membranaceus, it is best to combine it with nourishing yin drugs, such as Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Scrophulariae, Radix Ophiopogonis, Radix Asparagi, Rhizoma Polygonati Odorati, etc. Patients with damp-heat must be compatible with heat-clearing and diuretic drugs, such as Coptidis Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix and Herba Artemisiae Scopariae. Patients with excessive heat toxicity must be compatible with drugs for clearing away heat and toxic materials, such as Coptidis Rhizoma, Gardenia Fructus, and Radix et Rhizoma Rhei.
Generally, when taking astragalus tonic, the dosage should be gradually increased from less. While taking it, observe whether there are signs of getting angry or whether the original diseases on the body are aggravated or whether there are feelings of heat, annoyance, irritability, boredom and pain. Once there is one, it should be stopped or used in combination. When taking it, if the symptoms such as fatigue, hyperhidrosis or asthma are alleviated, and the mental and physical strength are improved without the above adverse reactions, the dosage can be appropriately increased.
To sum up, the medicinal properties of astragalus are relatively warm. Usually it is mainly used in combination. When taking it alone, you must pay attention to your own physique and specific condition, and gradually increase it from a small dose. If necessary, it is best to consult a doctor before taking it.
