Astragalus
The
Latin name for astragalus is Radix Astragali Membranaceus and
the Chinese name is Huang Qi. It is part of the milk vetch family.
It
has a pleasant taste and has a texture that is almost like coconut.
It is fairly soft and can be ground in a coffee grinder. It is
possible to grow this in the UK.
SORRY ASTRAGALUS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM THE BLUE SUN however
the seeds for growing your own will soon be added to our range
of products for those in the UK only.
The
Ron Teeguarden book below is highly recommended by The Blue Sun
and is full of ancient herbal wisdom.
