Astragalus propinquus

And that is that more isn't necessarily better.

And the way it works, not among Chinese medicine doctors, but among regular folks is that they hear Hey, Huang Qi is good.

I took it and I feel better.

And they think, hey, that sounds great.

So we need to take some herbs that will regulate the immune system.

One of those, for instance, is Huang Qi, astragalus.

Astragalus is a fantastic immune regulator.

It regulates the immune system.

It modulates the inflammatory processes in the body.

And the inflammation that is found in and around the scalp, if you take Huang Qi, which is astragalus, it will help to regulate that.

It also protects the cell.

So the cells themselves can become inflamed and irritated, but Huang Qi, astragalus, will actually prevent those cells from being irritated and therefore reduce the likelihood of early cell death along the scalp.

Starting to talk about Huang Qi, Astragalus root, and first off, it is in the family Fabaceae, which we have covered before, and we're gonna cover again in just a little bit.

Standard species is Astragalus membranaceus Fisch., in parentheses.

Remember that indicates the botanist who first categorized this.

And then in parentheses, uh, it's, uh, it's the botanist who first did it, but it's been revised by BGE.

Um, and it is variant, uh, mongolu- mongolicus, uh, which is, uh, technically called Mong Gu Huang Qi.

So that is probably, uh, one of the standardized, standard species.

And the other standard species is that non-variant, so it's the same, Astragalus membranaceus Fisch.

BGE, but not the variant mongolicus, uh, which is usually grown and considered stronger when it's grown in, in, in Mongol, uh, Mongol areas.

Yeah.

And it's amazing because you can cook like easily like a kilo of something that's relatively light, like Huang Chi at once and in the space of like an hour or two with very little involvement.

So if it's, if you're, if it's something, really quickly with very little manpower and very little um involvement you don't have to sit over and watch it you just come back and turn it every five to ten minutes and it's also it's not going to worst case scenario you're going to get Huang Chi Tan instead of Chow Hong Chi.

It's not going to be totally ruined.

The amount of time we've been like, can this work as time? We've timed it now, so let's just give it a go, I guess.
