Chinese Angelica Alcohol-Free Tincture (1:4) Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis) tincture – made from ground roots What is Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis)? Chinese Angelica, also known as Dong Quai, has long been a key element of women’s health care in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its nickname, “female ginseng,” already hints at its primary areas of application. This member of the Apiaceae family is primarily found in central and western China. At first glance, Angelica sinensis may seem rather inconspicuous, despite growing up to one meter tall. With its compound umbels and greenish-white flowers, it might be mistaken for an ordinary weed by European eyes, commonly found in Chinese forests and meadows. But this impression is misleading—its true strength lies hidden beneath the surface. The aromatic, sweet-spicy roots are highly valued and remarkably potent. At Phönix der Lebenskraft, we draw on this ancient wisdom and use only the high-quality roots of Angelica sinensis in our products. More Than “Just” a Women’s Herb The use of Dong Quai dates back to around 2800 BCE, long before the beginning of the common era. Since then—and possibly even earlier—it has been successfully applied in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Experienced therapists recommend the root especially for hormonal imbalances, menstrual issues, and during menopause. In TCM, Dong Quai is associated with the blood, believed to strengthen, nourish, and keep it moving. This makes the herb a popular choice for addressing symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and general discomfort, which are traditionally attributed to blood deficiency. Angelica sinensis is classified as warm, sweet, and pungent in TCM, and is assigned to the functional systems of the liver, heart, and spleen. Other traditional uses in Chinese folk medicine include pain, allergies, boils, abscesses, and constipation. Chinese Angelica contains valuable active compounds, including essential oils, tannins, bitter iridoids, coumarins, ferulic acid, lactones, polyacetylenes, phytosterols, tannins, valeric acid, and vitamins A, B12, E, and niacin.
