Based on its traditional use in Chinese medicine, astragalus root is best taken to support healthy immune system function and help decrease the likelihood that you’ll catch a common cold. If you notice symptoms indicative of the early stages of an infection like a common cold or flu (such as a sore throat, runny nose or mild fever), stop taking it temporarily and instead consider andrographis, which helps relieve these symptoms.
