Astragalus Root Tea

History

        First mentioned in an ancient Chinese book, 
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceous) is used throughout the 
Orient as a tonic food and healthful plant. Astragalus is a 
member of the legume family. It is an upright, yellow-flowered 
perennial herb that grows about two feet tall. The genus 
Astragalus encompasses more than 2000 species worldwide and is 
beleived by botanists to be the largest genus of flowering 
plants.

         Astragakus is a key herb in traditional 
Chinese "FuZhen" therapy. Traditional FuZhen theory concentrates 
on the body's own ability to rejuvinate and maintain food 
health. Astragalus is often taken with Ginseng and Reishi 
Mushroom.
