Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, multi-herb 膏方 pastes are traditionally prepared in autumn and winter as concentrated tonics. Formulas led by Huang Qi and Rou Cong Rong are decocted slowly with other food-herb ingredients, then reduced with honey or sugar into a thick paste taken by the spoonful. This twelve-herb paste follows that tradition, pairing Astragalus—traditionally used to support qi and vitality—with Cistanche, a warming herb traditionally associated with kidney nourishment and gentle yang support. It is enjoyed as a daily tonic, often in the morning on an empty stomach or in the evening as part of a seasonal nourishment routine.
