Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Angelica has been traditionally used in various systems of herbal medicine, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), to address a range of ailments, including headache and tension-type headaches. In TCM, Angelica sinensis (often called Dong Quai) is considered to have blood-invigorating and harmonizing properties, and is sometimes included in formulas intended to relieve headaches, particularly those associated with blood deficiency or menstrual disorders. However, the evidence supporting its use for tension headaches is primarily anecdotal and based on historical practice rather than rigorous scientific validation. There are few, if any, modern clinical studies specifically investigating Angelica's efficacy for tension headaches. Most of the available research focuses on its general anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, which are modestly supported by in vitro and animal studies but not directly linked to headache relief in humans. As such, the justification for using Angelica for tension headaches rests largely on traditional use rather than robust scientific evidence.
