Astragalus: Your herb of the week

So I spoke to some of you at the box tonight about this potent herb.  It’s the real deal.  From ancient Chinese herbalism that dates back thousands of years, Astragalus has been used for centuries as a potent tonic for the entire body.  Many herbs that we use tend to focus on one or two systems; Astragalus seems to hit them all.

I am going to keep this brief and instead I want you to check out these two links. Ron Teeguarden is a legit herbalist who has been scouring the globe for the best herbs for his magical blends.

As we transition from winter to spring and our systems are adapting to a new modality, astragalus can provide a nice over lift to your immune system and your energy.  Worth a closer look.
