How it works:

Astragalus: traditionally used to enhance immune defences in Chinese medicine

Oriental Botanicals Astragalus 8 contains the herb astragalus, which is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to promote the immune defences of the body, to improve overall immunity.

Astragalus is traditionally taken in Western herbal medicine to stimulate a healthy immune system response as well as to support the immune system in fighting illness.

Considered an immune tonic herb in Chinese medicine, astragalus is also traditionally taken to help reduce the frequency of common colds.

Reishi mushroom: traditionally used to improve immunity in Chinese medicine

In Chinese medicine, reishi mushroom is traditionally taken to enhance immune system health and relieve tiredness and general feelings of weakness.

Astragalus: traditionally taken to strengthen Qi in Chinese medicine

Qi (pronounced ‘chee’) is a type of life force energy. In Chinese medicine, it’s traditionally considered responsible for fuelling all bodily functions. According to Chinese medicine, when your qi is depleted, you might feel like you lack vitality or catch colds frequently.1

Astragalus is traditionally used in Chinese medicine as a restorative qi tonic that also promotes protective Qi (a specific type of Qi traditionally believed to form part of the body’s immune defences against infection), and strengthens lung qi.2

Astragalus is also traditionally taken to enhance vitality, as well as to help the body cope with and adapt to stress in Chinese medicine.
