Does soaking Astragalus in water cause internal heat?

Astragalus is a relatively common Chinese medicinal material and is often seen in some formulas for body conditioning. In life, some friends use Astragalus to make tea, which is also a relatively simple way of drinking. Will drinking Astragalus water cause getting a sore throat? Theoretically, no, but it may happen to some people with a long-term cold body.

Theoretically, drinking Astragalus soaked in water will not cause you to get a sore throat.

However, in fact, some people do get angry after taking it:

The reason is that the body has been cold for a long time and can no longer absorb tonic properties directly. It is like pouring boiling water directly on ice. Before the ice is completely melted, the temperature of the boiling water will not drop immediately like if it is directly added to cold water.

Therefore, most people will not get a sore throat. If you get a sore throat after taking the medicine, recall whether you have the habit of eating raw or cold food or fruits in your lifestyle. Control yourself a little and then take the medicine to avoid getting a sore throat.

To some extent, the more you get angry, the more you need warming tonic.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, if you drink Astragalus membranaceus soaked in water in excessive amounts, it will cause internal heat. Astragalus membranaceus is a Qi tonic, and tonic medicines are prone to causing internal heat. If you want to replenish qi and nourish yin, you can use 10 grams of astragalus and 10 grams of wolfberry to make tea to achieve the effect. If you want to replenish qi and nourish yin, you can use the following prescription:

Crush the hemp seeds, 10 grams of hemp seeds; 10 grams of wolfberry; 10 grams of astragalus; make tea with this proportion, you can achieve the effect of replenishing qi, nourishing yin and curing constipation.

Traditional Chinese medicine reminds everyone that the main function of Astragalus is to replenish the vital energy in the middle body, and it generally will not cause internal heat. However, if your spleen and stomach function normally or you are relatively young and your body functions are relatively strong, it is not recommended to drink Astragalus water, as it is more likely to cause internal heat, which is not good.

Although Astragalus is a relatively good Chinese medicine for tonic and conditioning, you still have to pay attention to the amount when drinking Astragalus tea to avoid getting a sore throat due to excessive intake.
