How to soak Astragalus and Angelica in water and their respective effects

Astragalus and Angelica are very common traditional Chinese medicines in our lives. We also add these two ingredients to our daily diet to make soups, etc.

Astragalus has the effect of replenishing qi and blood, which can enhance physical fitness and improve immunity. It is suitable for people with poor physical fitness. Angelica can also replenish qi and blood, improve blood circulation and delay aging. Especially suitable for postpartum women

Method : Prepare two Chinese medicinal materials, angelica and astragalus, and then brew them together with boiling water, or you can put them in a pot and boil them. These two kinds of medicinal materials can be used together, and they can also enhance the efficacy of both, which is a very good way to replenish both qi and blood. If you are suffering from Qi deficiency or anemia, taking Angelica and Astragalus tea is a good choice.

The efficacy of Astragalus water

1. Replenish qi. Qi deficiency may manifest as poor resistance, night sweats, weight loss or obesity, poor energy, fear of cold, etc. Lung qi deficiency may lead to cough and colds. Kidney qi deficiency may cause forgetfulness, sore waist and knees. Spleen qi deficiency may lead to weight loss. Heart qi deficiency may cause shortness of breath, palpitations, and sweating. Astragalus is mainly used to replenish Qi and enters the lung, spleen, liver, and kidney meridians.

2. Diuretic and kidney-tonifying. You can also drink Astragalus water to treat difficulty urinating and lower limb edema caused by kidney deficiency.

3. Improve limb numbness. "Jinkui Yaolue" mentions that decocting Astragalus together with red peony root, cinnamon twig, ginger, red dates, etc. can warm the blood vessels and improve limb pain and numbness.

4. Drive away the cold. Eating astragalus and mutton together can nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, replenish deficiency, and warm the abdomen. It is suitable for dispelling cold and keeping warm in winter. Not only men can eat it, but women with kidney deficiency, fear of cold and pale complexion should eat it more.

In addition, Astragalus also has certain effects in regulating blood pressure, blood sugar, and anti-oxidation. People with weak constitutions can improve their immunity by drinking Astragalus water regularly.

5. Lung nourishing drink. A decoction made from Astragalus, Ophiopogon japonicus, Schisandra chinensis and black plum is called Lung-Nourishing Drink, which can improve symptoms such as persistent cough, excessive sweating and dry mouth.

The efficacy of angelica water

1. Replenish blood and nourish blood. Angelica is known as the best blood tonic. For pale complexion, fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, etc. caused by blood deficiency, angelica water can be used instead of tea.

2. Relieve constipation. The lack of body fluid caused by Yin deficiency and excessive fire can also cause constipation. In traditional Chinese medicine, angelica has the effect of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, so people who often suffer from constipation can also drink angelica water.

3. Improve blood circulation and anti-aging. Drinking angelica water regularly can also improve blood circulation, resist thrombosis, enhance immunity, fight anemia, and beautify the skin.

4. Regulate women's menstrual diseases. When women have amenorrhea, irregular menstruation, postpartum blood deficiency, as well as women with physical weakness and fatigue, shortness of breath, night sweats, etc., they can drink angelica water.

The two are better together

1. Treat excessive blood loss. Boiling Astragalus and Angelica together can replenish qi and blood. If you lose too much blood, you can make soup with astragalus, angelica, red dates, wolfberry, etc.

2. Treat physical weakness, fatigue, insomnia and dreaminess. Making soup with angelica, astragalus and black chicken can not only replenish qi and blood, but also nourish the kidneys and regulate menstruation.
