Astragalus membranaceus - Astragalus membranaceus
Astragalus membranaceus is a sun-loving perennial belonging to the Fabaceae family and has a long history in traditional herbal practices across Asia. Native to China, Mongolia, and North Korea, the plant has an established place in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where its root has traditionally been included in herbal formulations and regarded as a Qi-supporting botanical.
