Can I take Astragalus during my menstrual period?

Women are naturally more fragile than men, both psychologically and physiologically. During menstruation, women's body resistance drops significantly. Many things that can be done normally cannot be done during menstruation. Some people even say that women cannot eat astragalus during menstruation. Is there any scientific basis for this statement? Let’s take a look at it together below.

1: You can eat Astragalus during menstruation

Astragalus is a holy medicine for replenishing Qi, and it is also effective in replenishing blood. Qi is invisible, but blood is visible. Tangible things cannot be born quickly; they must be born from intangible energy. When Astragalus is added to Angelica sinensis, it can help produce blood. Angelica sinensis can produce blood originally, so why does it need Astragalus membranaceus? You don’t know that blood-producing drugs have a slow effect in producing blood, while qi-producing drugs have a fast effect in producing blood. Moreover, if the drugs for qi and blood are combined and have the same effect, blood will gain qi and be produced quickly. What is there to doubt?

2. The efficacy of Astragalus

Astragalus is sweet in taste, slightly warm in nature, and enters the liver, spleen, lung, and kidney meridians. It has the effects of invigorating Qi and strengthening the exterior, restraining sweat and preventing loss of body fluids, supporting sores and promoting tissue regeneration, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. In the Five Elements theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring corresponds to the liver. Therefore, regulating liver qi is crucial to health preservation in spring. Astragalus is an excellent product for replenishing qi, and it can play a certain role in replenishing qi during the spring growth season. Astragalus porridge soup has the effect of nourishing blood and replenishing qi.

After reading this, I believe you have a preliminary understanding of whether women can eat Astragalus during menstruation. During menstruation, women's body functions decline, so you must pay attention to protecting yourself. Follow the doctor's instructions when taking medicine and do not eat raw or cold food. Mango has a hemostatic effect and should never be eaten during menstruation.
