Astragalus: traditionally used to improve immune defences in Chinese medicine

In Chinese medicine, reishi mushroom is also traditionally known for its ability to promote immune system health. In addition, reishi mushroom relieves fatigue and general feelings of weakness, according to use in traditional Chinese medicine.

Feeling depleted?
In Chinese medicine it’s believed that if your levels of qi (life force energy) are low, you’ll often feel tired, run-down, or susceptible to frequent colds and lacking vitality.1

The TCM tonic herb astragalus is traditionally used to not only strengthen immunity, but also to replenish qi and strengthen lung qi.

In Chinese medicine astragalus is also traditionally used to support defensive qi, a specific form of qi that is traditionally believed to form part of the body’s immune defences.2

In addition to its Qi-replenishing properties, astragalus is traditionally taken in TCM to increase vitality and help the body adapt to stress.
