Immune System Enhancement
According to the Sloane-Kettering Cancer Center, "Laboratory studies and some clinical trials suggest that astragalus stimulates certain parts of the immune system." Certain immune cells, such as monocytes and lymphocytes, help the body fight off viruses. The action of these cells may be increased by astragalus, therefore boosting the immune system. According to Mark Stengler, N.D., astragalus may also help the body secrete a chemical called interferon, which wards off the replication of viruses. Additionally, astragalus may increase the activity of natural killer cells. These cells can destroy both cancer cells and viruses.

Reduction of Chemotherapy Side Effects
Astragalus was studied as a treatment for patients with immune systems suppressed as a result of chemotherapy. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, "In these studies, astragalus supplements have been shown to speed recovery and extend life expectancy." Astragalus has also been shown in animal studies to reverse the immune suppression that is a side effect of some chemotherapy drugs.

Reduction of Fatigue in Athletes
Herbal extracts containing astragalus may help athletes utilize oxygen, thereby reducing their fatigue. Because astragalus is an adaptogen, it can also help the body adapt to the physical stress brought on by exercise.

Other Uses
Astragalus root extract may also be beneficial for diabetes, AIDS and asthma. Further research studies are needed in these areas. In traditional Chinese medicine, astragalus root extract is also used for heart conditions, but it is usually used with other herbs so further research is also needed in this area to determine whether the herbs are beneficial when used separately.

Astragalus root extract is also known as milk vetch or huang qi. It has been an important component in Chinese medicine for centuries. The herb is used to treat a number of different medical conditions.

Astragalus root is an adaptogen, which means that it helps protect the body against physical and emotional stress as well as from disease. The herb contains anti-inflammatory properties that make it useful as a topical treatment for skin injuries. It stimulates the immune system and helps prevent colds and infections. It may also improve the symptoms of heart disease.

Astragalus was known in the time of first century Greek physician Dioscorides, and the word itself is even more ancient, deriving from a Greek word meaning "anklebone". Ankle bones were once used as a form of dice, and one conjecture is that astragalus so named because the rattling seedpods sounded like rolling dice.
