Functions
tonifies qi to generate blood
Indications
Blood deficiency with "emptiness" heat: hot skin, flushed face, thirst fatigue, weak pulse bleeding from a cavity
Contraindications
Excessive heat, heat caused by a deficiency of yin
Notes
Just two herbs in a 5:1 ratio: abundant astragalus replenishes qi, which “generates” blood—for cases of blood deficiency with deceptive heat. Preparation: Boil, strain, and drink while warm.
