Description
Details
Angelica Root is a plant. People use the root to make medicine.
Angelica Root is used for menstrual cramps, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and menopausal symptoms. It is also used orally as a ”blood purifier”; to manage hypertension, infertility, joint pain, ulcers, “tired blood” (anemia), and constipation; and in the prevention and treatment of allergic attacks. Dong quai is also used orally for the treatment of loss of skin color (depigmentation) and psoriasis.
Some men apply dong quai to the skin of the penis as part of a multi-ingredient preparation for treating premature ejaculation.
In Southeast Asia, other Angelica species are sometimes substituted for dong quai (Angelica sinensis). Most often these include Angelica acutiloba, which is predominantly found in Japan; and Angelica gigas, which is mainly found in Korea. Although these three species are similar, the chemicals they contain are different. Don’t think of these species as interchangeable.
How does it work?
Dong quai root has been shown to affect estrogen and other hormones in animals. It is not known if these same effects happen in humans.

Health
Angelica root is a common ingredient for conditions like a sallow face, dizziness, palpitations, menstrual disorders, painful conditions, traumatic injuries, constipation, carbuncles and sores. [3], [4], [5]
Angelica root is an important blood tonic. Blood deficiency that causes a sallow face, paleness, dizziness, blurred vision, and palpitation is usually treated by angelica root together with processed rhemannia rhizome, white peony root and donkey-hide gelatin. When individuals also have breath shortness, weakness and sweating, astragalus root and pilose asiabell root are selected additionally to replenish qi (vital energy). Angelica root is also used with specific herbs to treat various problems that due to blood deficiency, for example, it works with Sichuan lovage rhizome and white peony root to relieve headache; sour jujube seed and longan aril to relieve insomnia; cassia twig and suberect spatholobus stem to relieve limb spasms; rehmannia root and white peony root to relieve skin itchiness; hemp seed, fleeceflower root and cistanche to relieve constipation.
Angelica root is an important herb for regulating menstruation. It often combines with herbs like rhemannia rhizome, peony root and Sichuan lovage rhizome to treat problems like irregular periods, menstrual pain, missed periods and postpartum abdominal pain. The Four-substance Decoction acts as the major ingredients, and other herbs are selected according to the accompanied symptoms, for example, limb coldness will select cassia bark and argy wormwood leaf to warmth; mouth dryness and hot flashes will select peony root bark and red peony root to clear heat in the blood; chest or abdominal pain will select nutgrass flatsedge rhizome, corydalis rhizome and Chinese safflower to remove qi or blood stagnation. For heavy periods, the herb may be prescribed with donkey-hide gelatin and peony root bark (charred); while masses in the pelvic region, it may be prescribed with common burreed tuber and zedoray rhizome.
Angelica root can relieve various painful conditions that due to blood deficiency, blood stasis or excessive coldness in the blood. It works with herbs like cassia twig, peony root and fresh ginger to relieve cold pain in the abdomen; baical skullcap root, golden thread rhizome and costus root to treat painful and bloody diarrhea; red sage root, frankincense and myrrh to treat injuries or stabbing pain in the chest and abdominal regions; Sichuan lovage rhizome, peach kernel and roasted ginger to relieve postpartum abdominal pain; rehmannia root, mulberry mistletoe, pubescent angelica root and gentiana macrophylla root to treat painful and numbness joints.
Angelica root is often used in promoting the healing of carbuncles and sores. In acute stage, it works with honeysuckle flower, snakegourd root and Dahurian angelica root to relieve swelling and pain; for persistent and stubborn cases, it works with astragalus root, processed rhemannia rhizome and pilose asiabell root to facilitate pus drainage and tissue regeneration.
Clinically, modern TCM also uses angelica root for anemia, chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular diseases, immune disorders and hepatitis.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

saturation of the tea (how strong it is) depending on your personal
preference and body condition.
A: It depends on the tea/herb.
For leaves: boil for 15~20 min.
For hard fruits, roots, and stems: If you soak the tea/herb in water
for 1~2 hours before boiling, you can save time in boiling, and also
get a deeper flavor than without soaking.

retail stores. However, if there is a certain tea/herb that you wish to
get, you can send an email to info@leafnflower.com. or 844-344-0622.

A: Yes, you can combine 5~10g of teas/herbs that you already have with Leafnflower.com's teas/herbs.
Although brewing one tea/herb is still good, combining 2~3 teas/herbs helps bring out
the remedial effects of the tea/herbs better than brewing just one tea/herb. However, most tea/herbs contain natural toxins,
and it is recommended that you boil 1~2 pieces of liquorice root along with the tea/herb to remove the toxin.
