Does Astragalus cause insomnia and irritability?

We all know the effects of Astragalus, and in daily life, Scutellaria can also treat qi deficiency and weakness. Especially for some patients with insomnia, regular drinking can effectively relieve the symptoms. So now I will introduce to you how Astragalus water will cause insomnia if you drink it for a long time? What are the effects of Astragalus water?

Many people like to take Astragalus soaked in water in daily life. In particular, many women like to soak Scutellaria baicalensis with jujube and wolfberry together. This can not only enhance immunity, but also make the complexion very good. However, the amount of Scutellaria baicalensis used each time should not exceed 15 grams, and it should be taken in two or three times to avoid excessive intake. If Scutellaria baicalensis is used too much, the patient may experience dizziness, poor sleep, flushed cheeks, and irritability.

After taking Scutellaria baicalensis, it can effectively improve the symptoms of memory loss, dizziness, and weakness in the limbs. However, if you take too much Astragalus water on a regular basis, it will not only fail to improve the dizziness, but will cause the disease to worsen, that is, the dizziness will become more serious and the memory will not be well restored. If taken in excess, the body will experience irritability and flushing of the cheeks.

If the patient suffers from liver and kidney yin deficiency, cold and dampness, or severe heat and toxicity, then do not drink Astragalus soaked in water, because this will not only fail to help the body recover as soon as possible, but will aggravate the condition. If this type of patient wants to recover as soon as possible, they should take tea made from Scutellaria baicalensis, Coptis chinensis, Patrinia salsa and Gardenia jasminoides together, but never choose Scutellaria baicalensis.

If the patient is suffering from tuberculosis, the symptoms are hemoptysis, dry mouth, thirst and fever, then we do not recommend drinking Astragalus alone. We must match the appropriate Chinese medicine according to the specific situation.

Women who are menstruating should not take Astragalus water, otherwise it will have adverse effects on the menstrual period and the body.
