This little gem arrived and I was a little put off as it seemed to be a thin little book, I expected maybe it wouldn’t contain the information I was looking for. Boy was I wrong! This book had troves of information on astragalus root, covered many uses, and just full of facts! I poured through this over a few days just gleaning all the tidbits I could. I feel much more confident using this herb in my path as an herbalist and holistic nutritionist after adding this information to my repertoire! If you’re curious about astragalus, this is a great read!

I first heard about this herb by reading a post by a integrative medicine doc. I the current health crisis, I thought it might be a good idea to take. After reading this book, I’ll probably continue taking it even after this crisis.
