Qiang Huo is the rhizome of the Notopterygium plant, a hardy perennial native to the mountainous regions of China. Traditionally valued for its strong aromatic properties, Qiang Huo is often used in formulations that aim to support the body’s response to external seasonal shifts.
Its affinity for the Tai Yang and Du meridians places it in a unique category of herbs thought to work on the surface and deeper energetic layers in classical Chinese herbalism. With a characteristic sharpness and warmth, it is commonly paired with other herbs to complement formula balance and directional flow.
All Phoenix Medical dry authentic herbs and concentrated herbal granules are not treated with sulphur, herbicides or pesticides.
