Angelica sinensis, also known as Dong Quai or Female Ginseng, is a herb that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It is particularly known for its 'blood tonic' effects on women and is commonly prescribed by traditional herbalists to treat gynocological ailments such as premenstrual syndrome and menopause. The root of the plant is harvested in fall and has a sweet pungent aroma that is often used in cooking. Angelica sinensis contains coumarins, phytosterols, flavonoids, and polysaccharides, making it an antioxidant. However, it is not recommended for use during pregnancy as it may increase chances of miscarriage and has other potential adverse health effects. If you're looking for a natural remedy to support women's health, Angelica sinensis may be a good choice.
