• Manchurian Spikenard has been traditionally used in Chinese medicine to support immune health, often prepared as a decoction. Its use is based on the belief that it can help maintain overall well-being during seasonal changes.

  The mechanism by which Manchurian Spikenard supports immune function is not fully characterised but may involve bioactive compounds such as triterpenoids and flavonoids, which have been studied in related Aralia species for their immunomodulatory effects.
