People with lumbar osteophytosis can usually drink astragalus tea. Astragalus has effects such as strengthening the spleen and stomach and enhancing vital energy, which can improve capillary resistance and accelerate blood circulation. This helps increase blood supply to the lumbar spine and alleviate discomfort symptoms such as lower back pain and fatigue caused by lumbar osteophytosis. However, drinking astragalus tea alone usually has limited effectiveness.
