Features: Astragalus is highly regarded by medical practitioners throughout the generations. It is known as the "sacred medicine" and has been a precious tribute to the imperial court since the Northern Wei Dynasty or even earlier. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica lists Astragalus as a "superior medicine in the classic," meaning it is suitable for people of all ages, can be taken year-round without harm, is equally effective for both medicinal and dietary therapy, and maintains its full efficacy. It is an excellent choice for daily tonification and long-term health maintenance.
