Organic Astragalus Root

$5.95

Organic Astragalus Root is a potent adaptogenic herb prized for its versatile health-boosting properties, making it a sought-after natural remedy for overall wellness. It supports immune function by stimulating white blood cell activity and enhances resilience to stress. Rich in antioxidants and polysaccharides, this traditional Chinese medicine staple also promotes cardiovascular health, helps balance blood sugar levels, and supports healthy aging. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your defences during cold season, boost energy naturally, or improve your body’s stress response, organic astragalus root offers a convenient and effective way to elevate your daily health regimen.

You can incorporate organic astragalus root into your routine in several simple ways:

  • Decoction (Tea):
    • Measure out 1–2 teaspoons (about 3–6 g) of dried astragalus root.
    • Add to 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water and bring to a gentle simmer.
    • Cover and simmer for 20–30 minutes.
    • Strain and drink 1–2 cups per day, hot or cold.

  • Soup or Broth:
    • Toss 10–15 grams of dried astragalus root (or 3–5 slices if it’s sliced) into your favourite soup or bone broth.
    • Simmer together for at least 45 minutes (up to 2 hours) to extract the polysaccharides.
    • Remove the root pieces before serving; enjoy daily as an immune-supporting tonic.

  • Powder or Capsules:
    • If you have astragalus powder, start with ½ teaspoon (about 2 –3 g) mixed into smoothies, juices, or water each morning.
    • Standard capsule dosing is 500 –1,000 mg, taken 1–3 times per day with meals.

  • Tincture (Liquid Extract):
    • Use a 1:5 root-to-solvent tincture; take 20–40 drops (≈1 –2 mL) in water or juice, once or twice daily.

Tips & Precautions:

  • For best results, use organic, sustainably harvested astragalus root.

  • Start at the lower end of dosing and gradually increase as needed.

  • If you’re pregnant, nursing, on immunosuppressants, or have an autoimmune condition, check with your healthcare provider before use.
