Astragalus (Huang Qi) — Live Plant
Astragalus membranaceus — Huang Qi — is one of the most widely used herbs in all of Chinese medicine, and one of the most important superior herbs in the Shennong Bencao Jing. The text describes it as supplementing the center, boosting qi, and tonifying the spleen and lungs. Astragalus is a beautiful perennial legume that fixes nitrogen in the soil — making it a perfect companion plant in a regenerative garden. Hardy to Zone 4, it thrives in Montana's climate and produces lovely purple flowers. The roots are harvested in the fall of the third year and can be used in soups, teas, and tinctures. For educational purposes only. Consult a qualified healthcare provider before use as medicine.
