astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus)
For centuries, humans have relied on ***astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus)***, garlic and medicinal mushrooms to bolster immune function, and current research supports their traditional use. For optimal immunity, use one or more of these herbs regularly. A delicious way to take them is in the form of a tonic soup (see “Immune-Building Herbal Tonic Soup”).
A member of the pea family, astragalus root has been used for more than 2,000 years in traditional Chinese medicine as a popular tonic for strengthening vitality and to bolster resistance to disease. Today, researchers are trying to scientifically validate the herb’s long reputation as an immune enhancer.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Δεν ξέρω αν το «τραγακάνθινο» είναι το ίδιο ακριβώς φυτό, οπότε προτείνω να μείνεις στην επίσημη ονομασία «αστράγαλος» με τη λατινική σε παρένθεση και με κεφαλαία τα πρώτα γράμματα των λέξεων.
