Viruses are everywhere and they affect us in different ways.

From the common cold to herpes eruptions, to HPV-related genital warts and cervical dysplasia/cancer, they are ever-present.

Your immune system is a key player in preventing recurrent HPV infections and persistent side effects. Frequent infections, such as colds, sinus infections, and herpes eruptions are all signs that your immune system could use a little boost.

Like any virus, your immune system is the one in charge of keeping HPV at bay. While there is no clear cure for HPV, boosting your immune system is one way to prevent recurrent infections and keep you symptomless for as long as possible.

There are many ways to stimulate your immune system, but sometimes you need a little extra support.

Astragalus membranaceus.

Astragalus membranaceus, commonly known as milk-vetch in the North America, is a perennial plant native to Northern and Eastern China, and Korea.

Its dried root has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine to tonify Qi, or your “vital force” for a variety of conditions, particularly those involving the immune system. This is a go-to plant during the cold and flu season.

Astragalus is also known as an adaptogen, meaning that it helps the body adapt to stress, protecting you from all stressors of physical, mental, and emotional origins.

Basically, Astragalus works to keep you strong and healthy through times when you might be tired or stressed out.

Did you know that Astragalus stimulates the immune system in a number of ways?

Cell and animal studies have shown that Astragalus can enhance the activity of natural killer (NK) cells and killer T-cells, two of the important immune system players that attack and neutralize invading pathogens in the body.

It has also been shown to stimulate the actual production of white blood cells, antibodies, and production of interferons, your body’s soldiers against viral infections. These may seen like complicated terms, so all you really need to understand is that Astragalus is very good at activating multiple parts of your immune system.

A cell-based study was completed specific to cervical immortalized epithelial cell growth, a side effect of HPV, where Astragalus was injected into these cells. The results showed that Astragalus could reduce the chances cell death in these expanding cells. At a higher dose, the response to Astragalus as a treatment was stronger. It altered the mechanism of these infected cells in many different aspects.

In addition to immune stimulation, this plant has been shown to also have a variety of other potential beneficial effects, including cardiovascular benefits!
