What is Sha Yuan Zi?:
The Chinese Herb Sha Yuan Zi is the dried seed of the flat-stem milkvetch plant (Astragalus complanatus R. Br.), a plant closely related to (but not the same as) the plant from which the Chinese herb Huang Qi is derived. Astragalus complanatus is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows in meadows and on slopes in mountain valleys at medium elevations throughout most of temperate regions in China. The seeds are harvested when ripe in the late fall and used either unprocessed or salt-fried as medicine.
