  Best ways to use Astragalus

  1. Soak and drink

  When soaking Astragalus, you can add Chinese Angelica and Codonopsis. After cleaning all the ingredients, it is better to boil them in a pot;

  This can allow more medicinal effects to enter the water. Directly soaking may not have such obvious effects.

  Taking it regularly every day can have a good effect on beauty and anti-aging.

  However, it is important to note that you should not eat a lot of Astragalus every day just because it has many benefits.

  This can have the opposite effect. Consuming too much Astragalus can cause dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. It is recommended not to exceed 15g per day.

  2. Astragalus stew with lamb

  Astragalus and lamb have always been a good combination. When stewing lamb, adding Astragalus, Chinese Angelica, and Codonopsis can have a good effect on nourishing Qi and blood, especially suitable for body nourishment in winter.

  The stewed lamb not only tastes delicious but also has high nutritional value.
