Astragalus Tablets, 450 mg active ingredient Tablet size → 16mm * 8mm Active ingredient per tablet → 450mg Astragalus membranaceus pressed tablets from the root What is Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus)? Astragalus has enjoyed high regard in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for more than 3,000 years. The perennial herbaceous plant originates from East Asia and can grow up to 40 cm tall. Since there are around 200 Astragalus species, choosing the right one is of great importance. We have consciously chosen Astragalus membranaceus, as this species is also used in TCM under the name “Huang Qi.” Translated, this means “great life force” and illustrates the remarkable potential of this healing plant. At first glance, however, this is not immediately apparent. Botanically speaking, Astragalus belongs to the legume family, just like peas. Its typical bright yellow blossoms make this connection clear. Yet, as in many cases, the true power lies hidden: neither the leaves nor the flowers are used in TCM or folk medicine. Instead, all attention is focused on the woody roots, which are whitish inside and about 3 cm thick. For the production of our tablets, we follow the traditional knowledge of TCM and use only Astragalus roots. The main roots are carefully selected, washed, cut, and sun-dried before being finely ground. We exclusively use raw materials that we would confidently consume ourselves. The most important adaptogen in TCM The list of Chinese medicinal plants is extensive. According to the saying “for every illness, a herb grows,” TCM offers a remarkable natural pharmacy. Astragalus holds a special place. It is considered a highly effective adaptogen but is also used for many other purposes. Adaptogens are plants that gently but sustainably influence the body’s stress response system and help the organism cope better with stress. In TCM, Astragalus is mainly used as a tonic to stabilize and preserve the universal life energy (Qi). Since everything depends on this force, it is understandable that Astragalus is also used in the Far East to strengthen the body’s natural defenses, support a normal cardiovascular system, and protect the liver, kidneys, nerves, and pancreas.

Licorice Root Alcohol-Free Tincture (1:4) Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) tincture – made from the ground root What is Licorice? Licorice, a plant from the legume family, is distinguished by its characteristic blossoms, which can range in color from white to bluish-violet. Originally found as a wild plant across Europe, North Africa, Asia, Australia, and both North and South America, licorice prefers loose, humus-rich soil and thrives particularly well in sunny locations. Under optimal conditions, it can grow up to two meters tall and one meter wide. Its robust, fleshy roots penetrate the soil up to one meter deep, while rhizomes spread outward as far as eight meters. Our products are made exclusively from licorice roots, as they contain the broadest spectrum of active compounds. We place the highest importance on purity and sustainability in our raw materials. The long tradition of this healing plant As early as ancient Egypt, licorice was revered and used as a healing plant. Theophrastus of Eresos, in 350 BC, described its remarkable effects on the upper respiratory tract, noting that licorice was effective for conditions ranging from persistent cough to chronic bronchial hypersensitivity. Indigenous peoples of the Americas also appreciated the many benefits of licorice. They used it not only as a sweetener but also valued its roots as a tonic. Licorice was particularly relied upon for digestive issues, toothaches, sore throats, and stomach or intestinal discomfort. For around 3,000 years, licorice has also been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Known as Gan Cao, the sweet roots are primarily employed to strengthen Qi – the life energy that is believed to flow harmoniously through the body. In Ayurveda, licorice root is highly regarded for its cooling and revitalizing properties. Practitioners use it to combat fatigue and to restore balance in the body’s energy centers, with particular influence on the liver, bladder, and lung energies. In the Western world, licorice is best known as the base for licorice candy. Today, its compounds are well-studied, revealing its unique composition. The roots are rich in triterpenoid saponins and contain high concentrations of glycyrrhizin – a natural compound believed to have anti-inflammatory and protective effects, especially for mucous membranes. Other constituents include flavonoids and coumarin. Flavonoids are antioxidants that help the body defend itself, while coumarin is regarded as calming, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory. Many people also know licorice from the book “Herbal Antivirals” by Stephen Harrod Buhner.
