Chinese Angelica Tincture (1:4)

Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis) tincture made from ground roots

What is Chinese Angelica (Angelica sinensis)?

Known as Dong Quai, Chinese Angelica has been an integral part of women’s health care since the very beginning of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The primary areas of application are already hinted at by its nickname, “female ginseng.”

This member of the Apiaceae family is mainly found in central and western China.

At first glance, Angelica sinensis may seem inconspicuous, despite its impressive height of up to one meter. With its compound umbels and greenish-white flowers, it may appear to be nothing more than a weed in Chinese forests and meadows—at least from a European perspective. But that impression falls far short of doing this medicinal plant justice. As is often the case, true strength lies beneath the surface, hidden from the eye yet clearly felt. Its aromatic, sweet-spicy roots are where the plant’s powerful properties reside.

At Phönix der Lebenskraft, we draw on this ancient knowledge and use only the roots of Angelica sinensis—naturally of the highest quality.

More Than “Just” a Women’s Herb

The first written reference to Dong Quai dates back to 2800 BCE, long before our era began. For at least that long—and possibly even longer—this healing plant has been used effectively in TCM. Experienced practitioners mainly prescribe the root for hormonal imbalances, menstrual complaints, and during menopause. As Dong Quai is believed to have a strong connection to the blood in TCM, its main areas of application are quite clear. Chinese Angelica is thought to strengthen, nourish, and move the blood. Therefore, it is also used for symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, and general discomfort, which are attributed to blood deficiency in traditional Chinese folk medicine.

In TCM, Angelica sinensis is classified as warm, sweet, and pungent and is associated with the functional systems of the liver, heart, and spleen. Additional applications in Chinese folk medicine include pain, allergies, boils, abscesses, and constipation.

Chinese Angelica contains valuable compounds such as: essential oils, tannins, bitter iridoids, coumarins, ferulic acid, lactones, polyacetylenes, phytosterols, tannins, valeric acid, and vitamins A, B12, E, and niacin.
