ASTRAGALUS ROOT

Astragalus Root, hailing from the plant Astragalus membranaceus, is a staple in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with a history that spans over 2,000 years. Native to China, Mongolia, and Korea, this herb is commonly known as Huang Qi in TCM and has been revered for its immune-boosting and vitality-enhancing properties. The root is rich in flavonoids, saponins, and polysaccharides, which contribute to its therapeutic effects. Traditionally, astragalus has been used to strengthen the body's defense mechanisms, increase stamina, and promote overall well-being. Modern research supports its role in immune system modulation, cardiovascular health, and kidney function support. When it comes to skincare, astragalus offers anti-inflammatory properties, helping to alleviate skin irritations and redness. Its antioxidant properties counteract free radical damage, which can lead to premature aging, and aid in skin's protection against environmental stressors. Additionally, astragalus is believed to support collagen production, which is vital for maintaining skin's elasticity and youthful suppleness. With a blend of ancient tradition and modern scientific acknowledgment, astragalus root is increasingly being incorporated into contemporary skincare products, offering a fusion of time-tested wisdom and cutting-edge formulation.
