Huang Qi Slices (Astragalus membranaceus) — Sulfur-Free Minxian Bei Qi for Wellness Tea, 150g Jar

Huang Qi Slices (Astragalus membranaceus) are the dried root slices of a highly revered traditional herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Huáng Qí (黄芪), also called Bei Qi (北芪). For centuries, Huang Qi has been prized as a qi-tonifying, vitality-supporting herb, traditionally used to fortify the body's vital energy, support the defensive qi, and promote a sense of grounded strength. Its nature is sweet and slightly warm, making it a gentle yet profoundly nourishing herb for supporting the Spleen and Lung, and for harmonizing the body's protective energy. This batch is sourced from Minxian, Gansu — a region long celebrated for the quality of its Huang Qi — and is sulfur-free, sliced into medium pieces, and packed in a 150g jar.
