Although the living standards of modern people have improved significantly, the long-standing unhealthy living habits and eating habits still make many people's bodies in a sub-healthy state.

First of all, we need to understand the composition and pharmacological effects of astragalus. Astragalus contains a variety of beneficial components, such as saponins, flavonoids, etc., which have certain effects on improving immunity, anti-fatigue, and improving cardiovascular and cerebrovascular function. However, astragalus also has certain *** and contraindications, which can cause damage to the body if not used correctly.
Long-term use of astragalus soaked in water may cause adverse effects on the body. First, excessive use of astragalus can lead to liver and kidney damage. Secondly, astragalus has the effect of raising blood pressure, and for patients with high blood pressure, excessive use of astragalus may aggravate the condition.
In addition, astragalus can also enhance the contractility of the heart, and for people with heart disease, excessive use of astragalus may also cause adverse effects on the body.
Therefore, we need to be cautious about the long-term use of astragalus soaked in water to drink. If you want to use astragalus for health care, it is recommended to do so under the guidance of a doctor.
At the same time, we need to pay attention to controlling the amount and frequency of use to avoid excessive use of astragalus and causing physical damage. In addition, in the process of using astragalus, it is also necessary to pay attention to the body's reaction, and if uncomfortable symptoms appear, you should stop using it in time and seek medical attention.
First of all, we need to choose those rhizomes that are full and intact, because such astragalus grows more fully and is richer in nutrients. At the same time, we should avoid those astragalus that are moth-eaten and disease-stained, because the quality of these astragalus may be affected.
Secondly, we want to focus on the color and texture of the astragalus. A good astragalus should appear pale yellow or yellowish-brown with a soft texture that does not break easily.
Such astragalus is usually freshly picked and contains more nutrients. Astragalus that is too dark in color or too hard in texture may have been stored for a long time or over-dried, and the quality may be affected.
Also, we should pay attention to the smell and taste of astragalus. A good astragalus should have a rich aroma and a slightly sweet but not bitter taste. If the smell and taste of astragalus is too pungent or bitter, it may be due to its growing environment or improper harvesting time.
Finally, we need to pay attention to the origin and brand of astragalus. Good astragalus should be produced in areas with a good ecological environment and no pollution, and the brand should be produced by a manufacturer with a good brand reputation. Such astragalus is more reliable in quality and safer.
