Huang Qi – Nature’s Flu Shot

Huang Qi truly is a wonder herb of ancient Chinese Herbology. Its many benefits for health and wellness have been recorded for thousands of years and modern research by renowned medical and scientific institutions are now confirming the value of this ancient herb. Among its effects on human health, it is best known for its ability boost immunity and prevent infection. 

The Mount Sinai Hospital online health library states that “(Huang QI) has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. People sometimes use it on the skin for wound care. In addition, studies have shown that astragalus has antiviral properties and stimulates the immune system, suggesting that it may help prevent colds.”

Huang Qi is categorized as an adaptogen, meaning it helps protect the body against various stresses, including physical, mental, or emotional stress. It contains antioxidants, which protect cells against damage and may help protect the body from diseases such as cancer and diabetes.  It is used to protect and support the immune system, preventing colds and upper respiratory infections, lowering blood pressure, treating diabetes, and protecting the liver. 

Astragalus has been used for the following:

• Protects the body from stress and disease.
• Colds, influenza, respiratory diseases.
• Anemia. 
• Diabetes. Huang Qi appears to lower blood sugar.
• Fatigue or lack of appetite from chemotherapy. 
• Heart disease.
• lower cholesterol levels.
• Hepatitis. 
• Kidney disease. 
• Seasonal allergies 
• Cancer. Preliminary studies suggest astragalus may have anti-tumor effects, specifically against melanoma and leukemia.

In the USA, researchers are investigating Huang Qi for treating people with weakened immune systems due to chemotherapy or radiation. Initial results show Huang Qi helps people recover faster and live longer. There is ongoing research for its possible benefits on patients with AIDS. Recent research in China suggests that, because astragalus is an antioxidant, it may help people with severe forms of heart disease, relieving symptoms, lowering cholesterol levels, and improving heart function.
