When Not to Take Immunity Alchemy Blend

A note on when not to take immune-stimulating herbs like Astragalus: they’re generally not recommended during an active acute infection (such as a cold, flu, or fever), since traditional theory holds that stimulating immune function during an acute illness can be counterproductive. They’re also generally avoided by people with autoimmune conditions or those taking immunosuppressant medication, since stimulating immune activity may not be appropriate in those cases. As always, check with your healthcare provider if either applies to you.
