Angelica sinensis

Angelica sinensis (also known as dong quai or Chinese angelica) is a plant that has been an ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine for over 1,000 years. It is often called “the female ginseng” for its great women’s health benefits, like relieving menstrual pain and menopausal symptoms. It has been well-reviewed for pain relief because it contains ferulic acid, which is helpful for muscle cramps. Angelica sinensis helps heart health, too, because it has coumarin, which reduces blood clotting.
