Astragalus, historically known as Huang Qi (黄芪) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a foundational nourishing medicinal herb derived from the dried roots of Astragalus membranaceus. Literally translating to "yellow leader," Huang Qi has been utilized for over 2,000 years to tonify Qi (the body's vital energy), fortify the spleen, and protect the lungs. Modern pharmacology actively studies its dense profile of active compounds, including polysaccharides, saponins, and flavonoids, to map its clinical applications. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
