Abstract
Radix Astragali seu Hedysari is warm in nature and slightly sweet in taste. It belongs to the lung, spleen, and kidney meridians. It passes through a waterway, dredges the triple energizer, and has a significant effect on edema due to renal diseases. Ancient doctors believed that Radix Astragali seu Hedysari is excellent in tonifying the middle, supplementing Qi, and dredging through the triple energizer. In modern times, many doctors have found that whether it is used as a single drug or in combination with other drugs, it is widely used in clinical practice and has a good effect in inducing diuresis.
