Meet Astragalus, known in China as Huang Qi, the "yellow leader." The name comes from the root's pale yellow inside and its old reputation as the chief of tonic roots. It's been part of traditional Chinese herbalism for centuries.
In magical practice, Astragalus is a root of staying power. It's worked for protection, resilience, vitality, and steady abundance: the kind of strength that holds up over the long haul instead of burning out.
