Latin Name : Astragalus membranaceus

Part : Roots

Country : China

Quantity : 114g or 454g (1Lb) 

Properties : Powerful tonic that fights inflammation, infections, viruses and bacteria. It slows down the premature aging of cells. It is an immunostimulant that is taken not during an acute crisis, but rather over the long term, for prevention and convalescence. Considered a “hot” plant, it risks aggravating the effects of the “heat” associated with acute infections. It can be added to broths and soups.

Uses of vegetable powders: In capsules, in food, in smoothies, in lozenges and energy balls, then externally (cosmetics, ointments, poultices). With few exceptions, plant powders are not soluble in water, although several molecules they contain are. For best results, it is best to extract these molecules in water, alcohol, or even oil (some molecules are fat-soluble). For more information, Les Âmes Fleurs school offers an introductory workshop and an à la carte course on the manufacture of therapeutic products.
