Angelica sinensis, also known as Min Gui, Qin Gui, Xi Dang Gui, and Chuan Gui, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the Apiaceae family. It is primarily cultivated in the provinces of Gansu, Sichuan, and Yunnan, with some production in Shaanxi, Guizhou, and Hubei. The largest output and highest quality come from Min County in Gansu Province. Harvested in late autumn, the root of A. sinensis is used medicinally. It has a sweet and spicy flavor, with a warm nature that affects the heart, liver, and spleen meridians. Its properties include nourishing and invigorating blood, warming and relieving pain, and moistening the intestines to relieve constipation. Angelica is widely used in clinical settings to treat symptoms like irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, blood deficiency, blood stasis amenorrhea, blood deficiency headaches, constipation from blood deficiency, anemia, and rheumatic pain. Known in Europe as the “Ginseng for Women,” it is also used to treat abscesses, injuries from falls, and chronic coughs.
