Bei Qi | A Herb Associated with Vitality and Strength
古人生活在山林之間，沒有今天琳瑯滿目的保健食品，卻懂得從大自然尋找適合日常使用的草本。北芪，便是其中一味流傳已久的傳統藥材。
北芪的根部呈長圓柱形，表面帶有自然縱向紋理，質地較為堅實，切片後可見淡黃色至黃白色的斷面，帶有自然的草本香氣。在傳統本草文化中，北芪常用於補氣升陽、固表等傳統應用方向，是湯品及草本配方中相當常見的一味藥材。
For generations, people have looked to nature for herbs suitable for traditional daily use, long before the wide range of health products available today. Bei Qi is one of the traditional herbal materials that has been used for generations.
