Traditional Uses of Astragalus
Astragalus root has traditionally been used as an adaptogenic herb and is often included in herbal formulations intended to support the body’s natural resilience. It has also been traditionally used to support general health and vitality, particularly during times when the body may benefit from additional nutritional and herbal support.
Astragalus is also known for its naturally occurring plant compounds, including polysaccharides, flavonoids and saponins. These compounds contribute to the distinctive characteristics of the Astragalus root.
