Here are some suggestions on how to use dried Astragalus root:

Herbal decoctions: Dried astragalus root is often used to make herbal decoctions or infusions. Here's a simple method:

  • Take about 10-30g of dried astragalus root and rinse it with water.
  • Place the rinsed root in a pot with about 1 liter of water.
  • Bring the water to a boil and then simmer it over low heat for about 30-60 minutes.
  • Strain the liquid to remove the root and drink the resulting decoction.

Herbal decoctions are typically consumed warm and can be taken 1-2 times per day, depending on the recommendations of a healthcare professional or a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

It can be ground into a powder and added to skincare formulations, such as creams or lotions, or used as a poultice for wound healing or skin conditions. It's important to note that topical use may require additional ingredients or guidance from a skincare professional.
