Information
Since the North-and-South Dynasty, angelica has been seen as a treasured herb that revives and facilitates blood production. Angelica can improve the biological functions, balance irregularities in menstruation, alleviate pain, improve skin complexion, strengthen muscle, and increase overall health. Scientific research has shown that angelica can increase coronary artery blood flow, decrease energy expenditure, and thus improve heart function. Angelica also has tranquilizing, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory effects.
