Does Astragalus have the effect of lowering blood pressure?

Scutellaria baicalensis is a precious Chinese herbal medicine. It has many benefits when used to make tea. It can also doubly adjust our blood sugar levels. So, does Scutellaria baicalensis lower blood pressure or change blood pressure? Let’s take a look today!

Does Scutellaria baicalensis lower blood pressure or change blood pressure?

Scutellaria baicalensis can both increase and lower blood pressure, and has a dual regulatory effect. When people with weak constitution use Scutellaria baicalensis, using a small amount can increase blood pressure, because Scutellaria baicalensis has the purpose of replenishing qi and blood, nourishing the kidney and strengthening yang, which can increase blood pressure and make qi and blood sufficient. If some patients attach importance to using Scutellaria baicalensis to lower blood pressure, such as patients with hypertension, who have relatively weak physical constitution and show symptoms of qi deficiency and phlegm turbidity, Scutellaria baicalensis can be used under the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine, with a dosage of more than 30 grams. This can supplement the internal organs to lower blood pressure and improve the functions of the internal organs. Scutellaria baicalensis is a typical dual-adjustment medicine in traditional Chinese medicine. It has a wide range of clinical medical applications and its usage is important.

How much water should be soaked in Astragalus at one time?

We all know that drinking Astragalus soaked in water can relieve symptoms such as fatigue, exhaustion, and deficiency of qi and blood. If you simply use it as a food supplement from the perspective of health preservation, Chinese medicine experts remind everyone that if Astragalus is soaked in water, 5 to 7 grams per day is enough, which is about 7 to 10 tablets.

How to soak Astragalus in water

1. Make tea with boiling water

The method of soaking Astragalus in water is mainly to use small boiling water, such as pouring boiling water into a container with Scutellaria baicalensis. The first step in soaking directly in boiling water is to clean the scutellaria baicalensis first, because Chinese medicinal materials such as scutellaria baicalensis have all been processed by traditional Chinese medicine and need to be cleaned with boiling water first. Then pour boiling water into the mattress and soak it for 30 minutes before drinking. You can also boil Scutellaria baicalensis directly and drink the water. To do this, you can wash the Scutellaria baicalensis with drinking water, then put it in water and boil it with the water, and then simmer it for 15 minutes after boiling.

2. Soak one portion of medicine twice

If you use boiling water to make Astragalus water, you should note that Scutellaria baicalensis can only be used to make tea twice. After the second time, the medicinal effect is basically gone. You can throw away the Scutellaria baicalensis and other Chinese medicinal materials and drink boiled water again. Although Chinese medicinal materials such as Scutellaria baicalensis have the effect of nourishing and maintaining health, drinking enough warm water every day is also very important for physical and mental health. If you use tea sets to cook Scutellaria baicalensis, you can just boil it once and drink it.

3. Nourishing and maintaining health requires control

Nourishing and health care is a very good way to prevent diseases, but it should be noted that nourishing and health care also has its limits. For example, the method of making tea with Chinese herbal medicines such as astragalus is best used for a period of time, then rest for a period of time and then use it again. Too much nourishing health care will cause you to get angry easily.

Conclusion: Based on the introduction in the previous article, I believe everyone knows how much water to put in soaking Astragalus at a time, and how many slices of Astragalus should be put in water at a time for the best effect. I hope everyone will pay attention to control when nourishing the body, so as to avoid other diseases caused by nourishing the body.

It can replenish Qi and blood, relieve Qi deficiency edema, and promote the excretion of toxins in the body. Therefore, if there is obvious Qi deficiency edema or carbuncle, you should choose to take raw Astragalus, which has a better effect than roasted Astragalus.
