Traditional Uses of Angelica Family.:
Although all parts of the plant are said to help a wide range of illnesses, the main medicinal part is the root. The stems and leaves have a weaker action. The root, stems, and leaves can be used for tonic purposes. The seeds work well for nausea. The root can be eaten in its raw, whole form and simply nibbled on from time to time. Its wide range of use includes for indigestion, gas, and colic.
It is also commonly used as a reproductive normalizer, to stimulate delayed menstruation, for reproductive or intestinal cramps, to normalize digestion and relieve flatulence, as an expectorant, a diaphoretic, and as a diuretic and antiseptic to cure urinary tract infections. It also has some use in relieving joint inflammations.
It improves blood flow to peripheral parts of the body, thereby increasing circulation. It is used specifically to treat Buerger's disease, a condition that narrows the arteries of the hands and feet.
Used as an expectorant, it helps to relieve bronchitis and other upper respiratory conditions
Dang gui is commonly used today in many over-the-counter preparations available in the West.
Ginseng is considered the main herb in China as a male tonic, while angelica is considered the female counterpart. The Chinese long ago saw that regular use of angelica by women was credited with easy conception, no miscarriages, safe deliveries, and no menopausal complaints. It is noted, however, that the herb should not be taken during pregnancy.
Dang gui is often taken with other herbs to treat a multitude of female complaints. As a result, it is referred to as the "woman's ginseng". According to the principles of Chinese medicine, blood dominates women's health, and dong quai is said to nourish and invigorate the blood, and is sometimes prescribed as a blood builder or blood tonic. It also acts as an antispasmodic and mild sedative. Despite its reputation as a female remedy, herbalists sometimes use it for men, especially if they are suffering from such blood-related or circulatory problems as fatigue or high blood pressure.
The Chinese also believed that women who took angelica maintained their youth far beyond its usual term. Consequently, they include it in all their major beauty creams.
Since the herb is mildly sedating, Chinese medicine uses it to treat people with overwrought nervous systems.
It is also used to treat allergies and their annoying symptoms, as well as for stiffened joints.
In addition to female complaints, dong quai is also used for liver disorders, inflammation, sciatica and rheumatism, digestive problems, and high blood pressure.
In Morelos, Mexico, a tea is made from the root for digestive problems, intestinal inflammations, menstrual cramps, bronchial congestion, and to promote milk-flow in nursing mothers.
Bai Zhi is used to treat headaches, aching eyes, nasal congestion, toothaches, sores, boils, and ulcers affecting the skin, tigeminal neuralgia, and as a warm tonic to alleviate the cold.
One way to take the root is by boiling one cup of angelica root in a quart of water for five minutes. Cool and refrigerate or take on hikes or bike rides and use instead of, or in addition to, water refills.
