EWG Rating

Scientific Name: {Astralagus hoantchy}
Chinese Name: {Huang-chi}
Part used: Root

Astralagus is an energy-promoting herb. This Chinese plant with pinkish-purple flowers is widely regarded in alternative medicine and cosmetics. Its primary use is both for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Further, added benefits include invigorated internal issues, exhaustion, and a compromised immune system. Its Chinese name, Huang Chi, literally translates to "yellow leader".

Many alternative medicine practitioners believe this herb can prevent the common cold and boost the immune system through increased white blood cell manufacture. In addition, cosmetics and skincare products in the United States contain Astralagus.

Age Spots

The same properties that make Astralagus an excellent health supplement make it great for topical applications. It nourishes the skin, provides better health benefits, energizes the cells to improve cell turnover and energy production, and enhances the skin's look, feel, and moisture-retaining properties. In addition, as it nourishes and stimulates, it allows the skin's natural processes to be more efficient.

As for the appearance of the skin, it brightens it significantly. Underneath the dermis, it works to help prolong the life of skin cells. Astralagus plumps dilapidated cells to make the surface look less wrinkled. At the same time, it wipes out the look of discoloration from sun damage or age spots.

It also moisturizes the skin, absorbing into the lower layers, leaving a greasy residue behind.

This adds flexibility to our cells' rigid support structures. Consequently, cells are filled and plumped with moisture. This keeps the support system from becoming rigid and breaking under the strain of environmental pollutants and attackers.

It also improves blood circulation to the skin tissues, allowing for better delivery of nutrients from the blood, which the skin desperately needs to continue looking young and supple. As it fights inflammation in the skin, it decreases the look of swelling and puffiness, especially around the eyes, making a face look tired and aged.

Astralagus can help to revive your complexion.
