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.
