In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this herb is commonly used for chronic or recurrent infections, not for acute ones and often in combination with other herbs. Astragalus is used for many health conditions and is purported to have immune stimulating and antiviral properties. Research is weak, but astragalus has shown enough promise that the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine is conducting studies. May have cardiac and immune system benefits.
