Astragalus wooliflorum
Astragalus wooliflora ( Astragálus dasiánthus) was known for its healing properties at the dawn of the fifth century BC. In Scythian legends it was called the herb of life or royal, giving strength and youth, and slowing down aging. It was intended only for the treatment of rulers and their families.
And everyone who violated the law used it was punished with death. Recipes for treatment with this wonderful plant were written down on golden tablets and buried by the Goths of the Scythian kingdom, somewhere in the Crimea.
And it is no coincidence that both Hitler and Stalin were interested in this plant, who wanted, with the help Astragalus gain immortality.
Hitler created a special and very secret project in Ahnenerbe, which envisaged excavations on the occupied Crimean peninsula in search of golden tablets. Research into ancient settlements during excavations of the mounds of Crimea was not unsuccessful, but only five tablets were found from the entire Herbal Book of the Scythians. Among which was this plant.
After this, on the territory of Crimea, the Nazis created a search team to search for Astragalus, which attracted the attention of the Crimean partisans. Having collected the necessary information about this German expedition, the information was sent to Moscow.
Stalin knew how to attach importance to little things that at first glance seemed quite insignificant, so he carefully studied this information and instructed a group of doctors to examine the plant and prepare medicinal preparations based on it. Information about these studies cost many who knew about its existence their lives... That’s why they call it the herb of life of the Kremlin leaders.
What is interesting about the biological description of the astragalus flower.
Now we are talking about the woolly-flowered species of this plant from the legume family, which is common in the steppe zone of the European part of Russia. It loves open sunny places, but is also found in forest clearings, and grows in old cemeteries and small mounds.
Description of the plant. This is a perennial, up to 35 cm in height, the stems are in a semi-recumbent state and only its tops rise upward. People often call it cat pea. The stems and leaves are covered with dense hairs. The leaves are long, up to 20 cm, consisting of paired (12-14), small leaflets. In general, a huge number of plants grow on the territory of our country. different types Astragalus, numbering over 2000 species in its genus.
And in order not to get confused in this list, I specially placed big photo a woolly-flowered species that has yellow flowers growing on peduncles and collected in inflorescences - capitate racemes. In the racemes you can count up to 20 small flowers, boat-shaped (up to 1.5 cm), with a sail (up to 2.5 cm) and boat wings (up to 1.8 cm long).
After flowering, closer to September, fruits are formed - beans (up to 1.1 cm), having an oval shape with a long spout. The roots of older plants are long and thick.

Scientific explanation of the importance of astragalus for prolonging life
☀ In order to understand this loud statement, you need to understand what is a key part of the aging process. It is believed that this is due to DNA molecules. The ends of DNA strands are called telomeres. They are not a code for anything, but they play a very important role in protecting the rest of the DNA from damage or breaks. That is, they are something like a shield.
☀ However, there are some radicals that damage telomeres, regularly tearing them apart. Fortunately, the body has a special enzyme that restores them and is called telomerase. Maintaining telomeres in good condition protects DNA from damage, and DNA damage from various sources, such as radicals, which are considered the main cause of the development of signs of aging: wrinkles, joint diseases.
☀ As the years go by, the length of the telomere begins to shorten, thereby reducing the amount of DNA protection, so the first typical signs of aging begin to appear. These signs can be either slowed down or accelerated, depending on how many radicals are in the human body.
☀ Smoking or excessive use of sun loungers on the beach will obviously increase the number of radicals. On the contrary, eating large quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables will slow down these signs. Ultimately, telomere length plays a critical role in protecting DNA and reducing the onset of aging: the longer the telomeres, the better the DNA is protected.
Watch the video on how to prepare a tincture for rejuvenation from astragalus:
☀ Astragálus is a unique source of a compound called cycloastragenol (or TA-65), which is capable of activating the enzyme telomerase. This helps reduce the rate at which telomeres shorten, or even possibly lengthen telomeres to reduce signs of aging.
☀ One study showed that TA-65 was able to induce telomerase activity by 1.4- to 3.3-fold relative to control groups and other compounds. And another showed that treatment with TA-65 lengthened telomeres and reduced DNA damage associated with short telomeres.
☀ Admittedly, the research is not precise, but the current results are promising and show clear results. Compounds contained in the plant activate telomerase and protect against the onset of signs of aging. The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) conducted its research and concluded that it can indeed “protect cells and tissues from oxidative damage.”
☀ This evidence does not indicate an increase in life expectancy and does not affect health. Health is a measure of how healthy you are, and lifespan is a measure of age; the plant has no effect on increasing this lifespan. However, it delays the onset of signs of aging and is attractive to those who want to stay young as long as possible.
Other Benefits of Astragalus
In China, decoctions of the inflorescences are used to treat any number of ailments, especially colds and urinary tract diseases. In Russia, this plant has not been studied well enough. But let's not forget that beneficial features green tea, turmeric, also began to be used as unconfirmed information.
Now all the advantages of these products are well known and widely used. There is now some evidence that Astragalus may stimulate the immune system and may also protect the kidneys from damage...
Contraindications for the use of cat beans
No special complications or phenomena were noted when using the drugs. But still, it is necessary to be more careful for those who experience allergic reactions for herbal medicines.
Under the supervision of a doctor, people with low blood pressure and chronic heart disease should take decoctions and infusions. There is a statement that large doses of the drug are not dangerous to health, so it is recommended to drink the infusion, but still, it would not hurt to pay attention to your well-being.
Is there a scientific health risk?
- If Astragalus may have a beneficial effect on the body, most likely, it can also have negative effects. It's worth thinking twice about trying to increase telomerase activity, which stimulates the immune system, causing hair loss. Therefore, all negative consequences must be investigated.
- Fortunately, decoctions and infusions from the plant have been consumed for many years and not a single negative consequences was not recorded, and studies using small dosages showed no toxic effects.
- Studies using extremely high dosages of 2000 mg per kg body weight (cycloastragenol is the active ingredient in the herb) also showed no toxic effect. Therefore, to get closer to a dangerous dosage, you will need more than one kg of raw materials.
- Concern was also expressed that the impact Astragalus on telomere length, can trigger the growth of cancer cells. However, research has shown that this is not the case. Astragalus has been shown to complement chemotherapy, either by enhancing its effectiveness or by reducing its toxicity.
- There have been no health risks associated with consumption and its toxicology has been tested with very high dosages, so there is no need to worry about possible negative effects from it.
