Hi! My name is Freddy and this is Billy. We are both herbalists based in China Town, New York city. Our address is 217, Center Street and our phone number is 212-274-8226. Today we are going to talk about Chinese herbs specifically wong chi or what is known in the west as astragalus. Astragalus you can think of as an equivalent to echinacea it is really very powerful herb to boost your immune system and is great to prevent cold, the common cold, and flus. It is great for this time season when the weather is changing to boost your immune system. Also this herb is also good for people who have a lot of night sweats. It will not work well like that, but you have to put in a formula and it works with other herbs that have to do with night sweats and it is a very herb. It has a very strong diuretic effect, it makes you sweat and a great detox. And you could use it in a large amount of dosage.
