[Theory]:Several chemical constituents of astragalus have been identified as potential active compounds, including saponins, flavonoids, polysaccharides and glycosides. Astragalus is often combined with other adaptogenic herbs, such as gi nseng, and promoted as a guard against various internal and external stressors. C ombination of astragalus with echinacea is common for protection against common i nfections of the mucous membranes (cold and flu).
[Scientific Support]:Most of the scientific data on astragalus comes from Ch inese clinical evidence, where astragalus appears to stimulate the immune system in patients with infections. At least one clinical trial in the U.S. has shown as tragalus to boost T-cell levels close to normal in some cancer patients, suggesti ng the possibility of a synergistic effect of astragalus with chemotherapy. In an imal studies, astragalus extracts have been shown effective in preventing infecti on of mice by influenza virus, possibly by increasing the phagocytotic activity o f the white blood cells of the immune system.
[What Is The History Behind it?]:For more than 2,000 years, Chinese herbalis ts have used astragalus to supposedly help the human body build up energy and res ist disease. It is the most commonly used herb in Chinese medicine.

[History]:Shen Nong, the founder of Chinese herbal medicine, classified astr agalus as a superior herb in his classical treatise Shen Nong Pen Tsao Ching (cir ca A.D. 100). The Chinese name huang qi translates as "yellow leader," referring to the yellow color of the root and its status as one of the most important tonic herbs. Traditional Chinese medicine utilized this herb for night sweats, deficie ncy of chi (e.g., fatigue, weakness, and loss of appetite), and diarrhea.
