Pseudostellariae pseudoginseng is a common Chinese medicine, or it can be said to be a tonic. It can often be seen in pharmacies. Many people use it to nourish their bodies. Adding a little bit of it when making soup can make the soup more nutritionally valuable and is of great benefit to the body. It is said that Radix Astragali is a traditional Chinese medicine highly praised by many Chinese medicine practitioners. With so much to say about it, what exactly are the effects of Radix Astragali? Let’s take a look at this information below.

1. Pseudostellaria heterophylla, a traditional Chinese medicine name. It is the dried tuberous root of the Caryophyllaceae plant ginseng. Distributed in Liaoning, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shaanxi, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan and other places. It is slender, spindle-shaped or strip-shaped, slightly curved, with a yellowish-white, relatively smooth surface, slight longitudinal wrinkles, and root marks in the depressions. There is a stem scar at the top. It is hard and brittle, with a flat cross section, pale yellowish white, horny; or off-white and powdery. It has a faint smell and a slightly sweet taste.

2. It is a tonic medicine. The main functions of the qi tonic medicine are: it has the effects of invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, promoting fluid production and moistening the lungs. It is commonly used for spleen deficiency, fatigue, loss of appetite, weakness after illness, insufficient qi and yin, spontaneous sweating, thirst, and dry cough due to dryness of the lungs. It is used to treat cough due to lung deficiency, poor appetite due to spleen deficiency, palpitations, restlessness, edema, thirst, and mental fatigue.

3. Used for poor appetite and fatigue caused by weak spleen and insufficient stomach yin. It can strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach yin. It is often used together with yam, dendrobium, etc. However, its ability to nourish the spleen is not as good as that of Codonopsis pilosula.

4. It is used for lung deficiency, dry cough, palpitations, insomnia, deficiency heat and excessive sweating due to qi deficiency and body fluid loss. It can replenish qi and produce body fluid. For treating cough due to qi deficiency and lung dryness, it is combined with Northern Adenophora Root and Ophiopogon japonicus. For treating palpitations, insomnia and excessive sweating due to qi and yin deficiency, it is combined with Ziziphus jujuba seed and Schisandra chinensis.

The above is some information about the effects of Pseudostellaria baicalensis. I believe that everyone now has a certain understanding of Pseudostellaria baicalensis. For people with weak spleen and stomach, putting some Pseudostellaria baicalensis when making soup and drinking such soup frequently can have a good effect on alleviating this symptom. People who have this problem may want to give it a try.
