Traditionel brug
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, 蒙古黄芪 (Méng Gǔ Huáng Qí) has been used for centuries. It is traditionally classified as a qi-tonifying herb that strengthens vitality. TCM practitioners use it to reinforce the body's defensive energy (wei qi). It is considered a longevity tonic — nourishing the fundamental essence (jing) and supporting the kidneys.
