@chestnutschoolherbs: Have you heard of astragalus? 🌱 It’s one of the most popular Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbs in the West due to its immune benefits. In TCM, astragalus supports the Wei Qi, a protective force that shields the body from harmful external influences, improving digestion, and strengthening the lungs. When taken daily, astragalus builds immune defense by fighting pathogens, nourishing bone marrow, and regulating white blood cell activity. 🌱 Astragalus is a food herb, generally safe for consuming in high doses. I love to sprinkle its powder onto food for an immune boost or take it as a decoction. The flavor is sweet and pleasant. 🌱 We have several tasty recipes that feature astragalus available to students enrolled in our Online Herbal Immersion Program. Check out the link in our bio for more information on the course! .
