Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Korean Angelica (Angelica gigas Nakai), known as "Dang Gui" in traditional Korean and Chinese medicine, has a long history of use primarily for gynecological health, blood circulation, and as a general tonic. Its application for supporting or treating lack of endurance is rooted in its traditional use as a restorative herb to combat fatigue and boost vitality, especially in individuals perceived as having "weak blood" or low energy. Historical texts and traditional formulas often combine Angelica with other herbs to enhance stamina and support recovery after illness or exhaustion. However, while its use for general energy and recovery is documented in traditional medicine, there is minimal direct scientific evidence specifically validating its efficacy for increasing physical endurance or athletic performance. Most modern research on Korean Angelica focuses on its anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and hematopoietic effects, rather than direct impacts on endurance. Therefore, while there is a traditional basis for its use in enhancing subjective vitality and recovery, scientific validation for its use in treating lack of endurance remains limited and indirect.
