General information : Astragalus is a warm, sweet tonic herb that enhances the functioning of the spleen and lung. It is most known for strengthening the immune system. It is recommended for general strengthening, treating excessive perspiration, eliminating toxins and promoting the healing of damaged tissues. In addition, it is used for the treatment of edema, night sweats, skin ulcerations and abscesses.

In clinical trials, Astragalus has demonstrated its ability to substantially increase the one, three and five year survival rate of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Additionally, Astragalus has been shown to increase the number of antibodies in the blood and to induce the production of interferon by white blood cells.

It may also be an effective protector against the ravages of chemotherapy. Some of the standard anticancer drugs cause degeneration of the liver, which expresses itself as an elevation of key liver enzymes.
