Horny goat weed is a flowering plant that is native to China, Japan, and Korea. It is primarily harvested in the wild and cultivated in mountainous regions of China. The plant grows up to 12 inches tall and has heart-shaped leaves, with small red, pink, yellow, or white flowers that bloom in early spring. The leaves and stems of the plant are used in traditional Chinese medicine for their medicinal benefits.
The plant is primarily harvested from wild populations, as it is believed that the medicinal properties of the plant are more potent when grown in its natural habitat. However, due to increasing demand, there has been an increase in cultivation of horny goat weed in China. The plant is grown using organic methods, without the use of pesticides or herbicides.
