Discover the power of Angelica sinensis, commonly known as Dong Quai or Female Ginseng, celebrated for its remarkable health benefits and culinary versatility. This aromatic Chinese angelica plant has been cherished for thousands of years, primarily for its medicinal roots, which are traditionally harvested in fall and winter. Revered in herbal medicine, Dong Quai is renowned for addressing female health concerns, including menstrual irregularities, cramps, and menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes. Available in various forms like capsules, powders, tablets, and tinctures, it remains a staple in modern holistic health practices. Beyond its healing properties, Dong Quai also enriches culinary experiences, with roots enhancing stews and soups, leaves offering a celery-like flavor, and stems hinting at licorice. This hardy plant thrives in zones 5-9, preferring moist, well-drained soil in sunny or partially shaded areas. Plant seeds directly in your garden during spring or fall, allowing it to mature over three years, and enjoy the benefits of this ancient botanical treasure.
