The difference between Beiqi and Huangqi

Astragalus membranaceus and Astragalus membranaceus are the same medicinal material.

Because it is abundant in northern China, it is named Beiqi, which is mainly produced in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Heilongjiang and other places in China.

Astragalus membranaceus is the name of traditional Chinese medicine, but Astragalus membranaceus or Astragalus membranaceus can only be said to belong to the prescription name. Because good quality astragalus is mainly produced in Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and other places. Therefore, in order to emphasize the origin of Astragalus membranaceus, doctors often use the names of Beiqi (Astragalus membranaceus produced in Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang) or Xihuangqi (Astragalus membranaceus produced in Hunyuan, Shanxi) in prescriptions.
