Huangqi Bushen mixture

Huangqi Bushen mixture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula. Its name suggests it contains Huangqi (Astragalus Radix) and other herbs aimed at 'Bushen,' a TCM concept referring to tonifying the kidney. Astragalus Radix, a key component, is known for its immunomodulatory, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-oxidant, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-tumor, cardioprotective, and anti-diabetic effects. In TCM, Huangqi is classified as a 'Tonic herb for Qi Deficiency' and is believed to target the Lungs and Spleen, playing a role in strengthening the immune system and boosting energy. The 'Bushen' aspect implies a focus on supporting kidney function, which in TCM theory is associated with reproductive health, vitality, and overall well-being. The mixture has been investigated in clinical trials for conditions such as pediatric asthma.
