Commonly known as milk - vetch, locoweed and goats thorn, Astragalus has been used for its healing powers for years and is part of a large genus with around 3,000 species of herbs and shrubs.
In traditional Chinese medicine it was used to strengthen your immune system.
It is also still used in modern China to treat hepatitis and as an adjunctive therapy to cancer.
Although some species of the Astragalus family can be toxic, it is overall seen to be a plant that heals.
