Astragalus

Astragalus is a versatile root widely used in traditional medicine to boost immune function, increase energy, and promote overall vitality. Known as an adaptogen, it helps the body cope with stress while supporting heart and lung health. Research suggests astragalus may stimulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and possess antiviral and antimicrobial properties, helping defend against infections. It also shows potential in improving cardiovascular function, protecting the heart from damage, and combating oxidative stress thanks to its antioxidant content.
