Astragalus root, similar to chaga mushrooms, has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese rituals to make astragalus root tea, which is believed to balance the body’s overall health functions, including a healthy immune system.‡ But what is astragalus used for? And what is astragalus good for? In this article we will explore these questions with a more in-depth look into astragalus benefits for skin.

Free radicals are essentially ‘free cells’ which cause damage to other cells in the skin, ultimately causing skin to lose its youthful glow.The antioxidants found in chaga mushrooms may help to maintain skin’s health and protection of cells from free radical damage.‡ By reducing the number of free radicals in our body, we can help to support overall stress responses.‡ And with chaga mushroom’s nutritional density, the benefits in the body’s function can be seen in the protection of skin health.‡
At Rritual, we enhance chaga’s benefits by combining it with eleuthero root, an adaptogenic herb known to help the body manage and respond to stress in a healthy, balanced way, so you easily adapt to whatever life throws your way.‡ For a balance of flavor and full spectrum seasonal support, we also included astragalus root and schisandra berries to our recipe. These traditional botanicals can be consumed for their ability to maintain health.‡
