Astragalus - A Revered Chinese Tonic Herb

Astragalus has been highly valued in traditional Chinese herbalism for centuries and is considered a premier Chi herb. Known as the "yellow leader" due to its golden roots and flowers, it has also played a central role in Mongolian herbal traditions.

This remarkable plant contains a wealth of naturally occurring compounds, including astragalosides which are triterpenes unique to astragalus, and polysaccharides similar to those found in mushrooms. Traditionally used in herbal tonics, Astragalus is known for its versatility and ease of use. It has a neutral flavour and colour, making it effortless to incorporate into meals, teas, and daily rituals.
