Tragacanth Root (from various Astragalus species) is known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as "Huang Qi" – one of the most important strengthening agents. The dried, slightly sweet-tasting roots release a mild, slightly sweet and earthy fragrance when burned.
In TCM, Astragalus stands for the strengthening of "Wei Qi" – the body's defensive energy. As an incense, tragacanth root is said to strengthen the immune system, promote vitality and offer protection against external influences. A gentle, strengthening incense for those seeking power and endurance.
Use: Place small root slices on incense charcoal. Mild, grounding fragrance.
