Angelica Sinensis, Radix (Chinese: dang gui 当归片 or sometimes spelled tang kuei)
tonifies, invigorates, and harmonizes the blood. Traditionally an
important herb for women and used for irregular and delayed menstrual
cycles, menopause, PMS, menstrual cramps, has a mild sedative effect,
and is good for pain. It also improves circulation by increasing blood
flow. Use by itself or combine with Ginseng, antler, Ligustici
Wallichii, Rehmanniae, Paeoniae, Chrysanthemum, or Lycii. Dang gui comes
two ways, palm-sliced or heads. The palm-sliced is considered a premium
grade of Dang gui; however, the heads are more commonly used and are of
excellent quality. Use 3-15 grams per four cups water.
