The efficacy and function of Beiqi and Astragalus membranaceus

Astragalus membranaceus belongs to traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating qi, which has the functions of tonifying spleen and replenishing qi, invigorating spleen and stomach, reducing swelling and discharging pus, etc., while Astragalus membranaceus refers to Astragalus membranaceus produced in the north. Because good quality Astragalus membranaceus is mainly produced in Northeast China, Inner Mongolia and Shanxi, doctors often use Beiqi Yi in prescriptions in order to emphasize the origin of Astragalus membranaceus, indicating that Beiqi is a genuine medicinal material and is a good quality Astragalus membranaceus. Astragalus membranaceus also has the effect of Nanqi, Nanqi and Beiqi, but it is not as strong as Beiqi. At present, traditional Chinese medicine has been cultivated everywhere, so it is less called Beiqi. Whether Astragalus membranaceus or Beiqi, it has the effect of invigorating qi and strengthening the surface, supporting toxin and discharging pus, promoting muscle and invigorating qi, and has good curative effect on qi deficiency and spleen deficiency diseases such as qi deficiency, fatigue, chronic diarrhea and anal prolapse.
