Astragalus, known as Huang Qi in Chinese, thrives in Korea, Mongolia, Japan, Taiwan, and northern China. Used in medicine for over 1,000 years, it’s classified as a superior herb in the classic text "Shen Nung Pen Tsao Ching." One of its best health benefits is its ability to boost the immune system.
Patients undergoing chemotherapy often face weakened immunity due to decreased white blood cell counts. Astragalus serves as a long-term tonic for the immune system and is used in China, Japan, and some North American hospitals to mitigate chemotherapy side effects.
Similar to Echinacea, Astragalus enhances immunity by increasing levels of macrophages and natural killer cells, which combat pathogens and cancer cells. It also boosts antibody levels, allowing the immune system to identify and destroy invaders.
Additionally, Astragalus stimulates the production of interferon, a potent antiviral compound, with studies showing elevated levels persisting for two months post-consumption. It supports bone marrow health, crucial for white blood cell maturation, and research indicates it can restore and improve white blood cell function in cancer patients.
Astragalus also helps prevent colds and upper respiratory infections, with studies showing fewer occurrences and milder symptoms among individuals with compromised immunity who consume it. Traditionally, it’s also used for night sweats, fatigue, digestive issues, and asthma.
While generally safe for long-term immune support, individuals with fevers or autoimmune diseases should exercise caution. Astragalus should complement an overall treatment plan rather than serve as a standalone remedy.
