The root of Astragalus membranaceus, an herb that grows in northern China, has been used for over 2000 years to strengthen the body as a whole. One of the most important herbs in the world, Astragalus root has been recognized as a superb and potent tonic by modern researchers. Astragalus is said to have an effect on the “surface” of the body. An important effect of Astragalus is in its ability to fortify the “Upright Qi,” which helps support our posture.
Dragon Herbs obtains premium grade raw Astragalus roots organically grown in a remote, non-polluted rural valley in Northern China where it has been grown for at least 1500 years and is regarded as a premium Di Tao source of Astragalus root. In 1996, Ron and Yanlin Teeguarden went on a mission to China specifically to find the best Astragalus root China has to offer, and with the guidance of Professor Wang Zhengtao (Editor in Chief of the Chinese Pharmacopeia), found it. Dragon Herbs Astragalus extract contains a full range of Astragalus saponins (astragalosides) and polysaccharides, as well as all the other constituents of Astragalus root.
Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance. If you don’t take the herbs, they won’t work.”

Further Information
Dragon Herbs practices Tonic Herbalism, which is based on a 5000 year old system of health promotion, protection, and psychological transformation.
The highest level of health care stresses the promotion of positive health as the primary goal. When sufficiently nurtured, our body is fully capable of regulating its own multitude of independent yet united functions, the way nature intended. Science has not been able to, and will never be able to, match that power of Nature. The herbs used for this approach have traditionally been called the superior herbs, but today they are called the tonic herbs. The utilization of the tonic herbs is called Tonic Herbalism.
The tonic herbs are the elite herbs of the Chinese herbal system, the most fully developed herbal system in the world. The Chinese tonic herbs have always held a very special place in Asian culture. These very special natural substances have been associated with the highest qualities of living. The tonic herbs are not harsh and are not specifically medicinal in the conventional sense.
Tonic herbs come from China. They also come from North and South America, Europe, Indonesia, Tibet, Bhutan, Africa, New Zealand, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Russia and almost every region of the world. Tonic herbs are by their very nature safe and may be used for a lifetime.
