🌿 Astragalus Root Slices (Huang Qi)

Astragalus root slices are thin-cut pieces of Astragalus membranaceus, the root known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Huang qi. We cut the root into even slices and dry it at low temperature in small batches, so it stays pale-gold, aromatic, and ready to drop straight into a pot. The flavor is gently sweet and rounded, with tasting notes of honey, oak, and earth that build slowly through a long simmer.

Astragalus is native to the dry, continental highlands of northern China, the climate this plant evolved in. We work with a vetted partner farm in that region and slice and dry each lot in small batches. The even, uniform slices simmer evenly and strain cleanly, which makes them a natural fit for long decoctions, slow-cooker broths, and daily wellness blends. For a finer particle that steeps faster in a tea filter, our cut and sifted astragalus root is the companion grind.

Every lot of our astragalus is COA-verified. We publish each batch's Certificate of Analysis on our historical astragalus COA and history article, so you can review the purity and potency testing for the exact batch you receive. You can read more about how this root has been used across centuries in our guide to astragalus root in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

🌱 From the Sacred Plant Co Farm

Sacred Plant Co is a soil-first farm. Our own farm in Colorado earned a groundbreaking Haney Soil Health Score of 25.4, a number that surpasses the soil biology measured in pristine forest land. That score is the heart of who we are. We believe healthier soil grows more complex, more potent plants, and that philosophy is the reason we hold every herb we carry to the same biological and per-lot testing standards.

🍵 Ways to use it

🫕 Slow decoction

Add slices to a pot of fresh water and simmer gently, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes. Strain and enjoy warm or chilled.

🥣 Broth and soup

Drop slices into bone broth, stock, or a slow-cooker for a mild, slightly sweet, savory backbone. Remove before serving.

♻️ Second simmer

Many people re-simmer the same slices once more within 24 hours for a lighter, second cup. Store airtight, cool, and dark.

Safety and considerations

Astragalus root has a long history of traditional use in daily decoctions and food preparations. It is naturally caffeine-free. Because astragalus may stimulate immune activity, people with autoimmune conditions or those taking immunosuppressant medications (for example, after an organ transplant) should speak with a qualified practitioner before use. If you are pregnant, nursing, managing a medical condition, or taking prescription medications, consult a qualified healthcare professional before using astragalus.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What does astragalus root taste like?

Astragalus is gently sweet and rounded, with tasting notes of honey, oak, and earth. It is mild rather than bold, which is why it blends so easily into soups, broths, and long-simmered teas without taking over the cup.

Should I choose sliced or cut and sifted astragalus root?

Choose slices when you want a long, slow decoction or a broth, since the larger pieces simmer evenly and strain out cleanly. Choose cut and sifted when you want a smaller particle that steeps faster in a tea filter or mixes into quick blends. Many people keep both on hand for different brewing days.

How long should I simmer astragalus slices?

A gentle 20 to 30 minute covered simmer gives a rich, rounded cup. You can adjust the time and the root-to-water ratio to taste, and many people re-simmer the same slices once more within 24 hours for a lighter second batch.

Where do you source your astragalus, and how do you verify each batch?

Astragalus is native to the highlands of northern China, so we partner with a vetted farm in that region, where the plant grows in the climate it evolved in. Every lot we ship is COA-verified, with each batch's Certificate of Analysis published on our historical astragalus article, and it is backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.
