Our Aussie had a growth on his neck and I wasn't going to take him to the vet because I knew they would just give him drugs so I gave him about 50 drops of astragalus tincture from Red Moon Herbs (which I would highly recommend this company ) if you aren't making your own remedies. Anyway with in 3 days the growth was gone and it has NEVER returned!!
When I was visiting China for certification in Chinese Herbal medicine, we were taken to an open market where vendors were selling bulk herbs. We saw toddlers chewing on what looked like tongue depressors. We found out later they were strips of astragalus root. It is common practice for children to chew on this root to help them during teething to minimize pain and strengthen their immune system.
When concerned with a Lyme diagnosis during pregnancy, my midwife recommended this daily and swears by early onset usage to avoid symptoms. Also recommended regular use for prevention for all us nature lovers!
I just want to thank you for sharing your years of experience. I have learned so MUCH from you!!!! Yesterday, I planted my first nasturtium seeds and am excited to harvest the leaves for their antibiotic properties.
🙋♀Same here! Hubby started some nasturtium seeds in our basement, under a grow light. In NE Ohio, we can't plant them outside until about the beginning of June. But they've done so well, he's already dehydrated some of the leaves! I can't WAIT to make a tincture out of them!!! Thank you, Heidi....I learn so much from you! God bless you, sweet girl! 🥰
I really love it with goji berries and ginger . I also like it with peppermint and garlic honey … I know that sounds like a weird combo with the garlic honey but it’s actually really good 😋
I use this in my homemade bone broth. The chicken bone broth seems to do better for my family, and I've noticed a difference by adding the astragalus root. I can't make enough to go around. This is our first line of defense for about everything! Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge with us.
Heidi, I still need to look into the Astragalus deeper for me. Thank you for another great video. Heidi, I just love how deep you go with these Herbs! Thank you so much
Astragalus is one of my favorites for both my family and my chickens. I got seeds to germinate last year but life happened and I didn't get it planned out. I use it mostly in tincture form but plan to add the root to my next batch of elderberry syrup.
Just subscribed, I love herbs, herbalism runs in my blood. I have recently added this to my home apothecary. As many of ailments which have personally effected me over the years are treated by this, I am excited. I really should make my own elderberry syrup, as that is something I already take daily, so it would save me a separate concoction to mix them into an immune combo.
Thanks for the great info on astragalus! I’ve used the root when brewing my elderberry syrup & it seems to help nip colds, etc. in the bud! I’m going to check Harmonic Arts from British Columbia, Canada, to see where they source theirs. Also Organic Matters in Canada May have some. Blessings to all 🤗💜🇨🇦
Heidi, have you tried Oregon's Wild Harvest? It only says manufactured in the USA, doesn't say where the plant was grown. They're currently out of the cut & sifted root, but at least it's something they offer (as well as ashwagandha). Homegrown Herbalist only stocks the powder, but if anyone is looking to make capsules or can choke down a tea no matter what it tastes like, it's an option. Homegrown Herbalist DOES list precautions and dosage, at least for their powders, which might prove helpful for some as well. The biggest precaution appears to be that both these "A herbs" can interfere with immunosuppressive drugs.
I had mullein tea for the first time, but hadn't done my homework when I took it with my daily supplements and a B12 which was new to me as well. I was fine for about 30 min. But I ended up with what appeared to mimic a heart attack. My heart started racing, my stomach was cramping. I got light headed and nausea. I barely got home before I vomited on the street. I then aspirated and was really panicky. Finally I was able to get some air and cleared my airway, but it took hours for my heart rate to come down. So we think I had a reaction to synthetic b12 and other supplements with Mullein tea. Not a heart attack. Pleeeease do as Heidi says and do your research. I'm very sensitive to many things, apparently I have to add a few more to the list. My sister uses astragalus all the time and swears by it. I hope I won't react to it like the other stuff.
Thanks for all the great info, Heidi! I started these seeds recently. Scarified and all of that. Had a couple come up and quickly fall over, but their little leaves are still growing, so I'm just rolling with it. Just read the packet (from Strictly Medicinal 💞Richo Cech) and I should've used some legume inncoculant..thinking I might sprinkle a tad on the soil just in case. Can't wait to see how it helps!
Thank you Heidi! I was taking this during the wu-flu season. I also put it in .y cat's food as she was declining. She appeared a bit better for taking it. One of my chickens was looking a bit off. She was fine the next day. Blessings!💜
Amazon is $28.30 for 1 lb organic from Starwest and you you can get the exact thing (weight & brand) from Vitacost for $20.99 but if you have autoship you'll get 5% off that price. I forgot to check shipping cost so Amazon could perhaps be cheaper especially if one is a Prime member.
Thanks for you knowledge. Can you do a video on a herbal tea or tincture blend for massive aggressive hot flashes and night sweats. Going on six years and I have to get off estrogen patches.
Greetings. Been watching for a couple of years now. Love your channel. I'm a Diabetic, love Astragalus and bought some from an Asian store. This Astragalus is long pieces and the type for cooking. I want to make a tincture out of it but it contains sulphur dioxide in it. Do you think it's still ok to use it? Also do you have a video making an Astragalus tincture?
That is not something I would know off hand and this is why I always tell people to do their own research when it comes to taking medicinal herbs in conjunction with prescription meds
I have USDA ORGANIC Astragulus Root powdered. can you just drink it in its powdered unprepared form? do you have to prepare or heat it? does it have to be made into tea or can I drink a tsp of the raw powdered root form? also what brands do you like?
Chinese has a combination of different herbs for soups and astragalus is one of them. We can buy from the Chinese supermarket and boil with meat to make a delicious soup.
I have used it many times, mixed equally with Eleuthro as a help with controlling ADHD in children as an alternative to pharmaceuticals. Both herbs powdered, mixed equally. Add 1 tsp to a cup. Cover with HOT water, cover and let steep 15-20 minutes. Then add flavor to make it palatable. Orange juice, hot chocolate, etc. It has worked amazingly! Yes, you can also use it in tincture, or capsule, but, the hot water method seems to work so much better.
Please let me know if this is ok. I make a tea at night with half a teaspoon of astragalus, half a teaspoon of ashwagandha and a teaspoon of cinnamon, add hot water, some honey and soy milk.
Other than the soy milk, it sounds good. I would recommend replacing soy with some other type of milk. Homemade nut milks of whatever variety you prefer is better for you than soy and much tastier
I am not sure which product you are referring to as I do not sell any of my machinal products but we do make and sell handmade goods and my skin cream. For the list and ordering information, simply email me at raincountryhomestead@gmail.com and I will send that out to you

Astragalus has helped me with HS after more then two decades of dealing with doctors and misdiagnoses
What is HS

from my reasoning its main it helps is the Thymus Gland and Hypothalamus
