Astragalus root is all about immunity, but that includes skin functions too.

_______________________

Notes: This formula’s name suggests that, like a screen door, good air can pass through, but insects remain outside. This formula isn’t about repelling insects exactly, but it is about forming a screen to keep out other problems carried by the wind.

It also promotes appropriate skin functions such as sweating. If you sweat inappropriately, and have more than four colds or flus per year, this is a great formula for you.

Also available as convenient “teapills” here.

Ingredients

Huang Qi 黃耆 astragalus root, milk-vetch root, milkvetch root Astragali Radix

• Astragalus is famous for immunity support, but its affects go deeper than that, actually they go more superficial. This is an anti-sweating formula, but it is only for sweating that is NOT associated with a fever. If you have a fever, you treat the fever to reduce sweating. If you sweat very easily without a fever, then astragalus is for you.

Fang Feng 防風 saposhnikovia root, ledebouriella root, siler Radix Ledebouriellae Divaricatae

• “Fang Feng” translates to “guards against wind”. This is a little like saying that it supports the immune system, especially those issues that are carried by the wind (such as viruses expelled during a sneeze or cough.)
