Astragalus, Beiqi, Zhengbeiqi?

Astragalus mongholicus is the dry root of Astragalus mongholicus and Astragalus membranaceus. Astragalus membranaceus and astragalus membranaceus are aliases of astragalus. To tell the difference, astragalus is the one growing in the north. The main planting areas are Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang and other northern provinces. There is also "North Astragalus", which is also the name of astragalus in the north.

Since there is the saying of "Beiqi", there must also be Huangqi in the south - "Nanqi". The south air is sweet and slightly warm. The soup made with Nanqi is not only like milk in color, but also has a light coconut smell. The appearance of Qi inherited the characteristics of the southern family jasper. Astragalus membranaceus is about 8~25cm long and 4~18cm wide. The height of Beiqi alone is 50-100 cm.

Astragalus is not as effective as Astragalus in tonifying qi, but has the functions of strengthening spleen, replenishing qi and drying dampness. Compared with Beiqi, Nanqi has the effects of relieving asthma, expelling phlegm and relieving cough. Not as warm as BAIC, but more suitable for southerners.
