Evidence supporting the use of: Pubescent Angelica
For the health condition: Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Pubescent Angelica (Angelica pubescens, often known as "Du Huo" in traditional Chinese medicine) is primarily used based on traditional practices rather than modern scientific validation. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Pubescent Angelica is valued for its purported ability to "dispel wind and dampness," and it is most often used to treat musculoskeletal pain, such as arthralgia, and conditions like rheumatism. Its use for gastrointestinal complaints, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), is less established but sometimes noted in broader herbal formulations aimed at "harmonizing the stomach" or "soothing the intestines."
There is minimal scientific research directly linking Pubescent Angelica to the treatment or management of IBS. Most available studies and clinical trials involving this herb focus on its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, particularly for joint and muscle pain. A few TCM formulations that include Pubescent Angelica as one of several ingredients have been explored in small studies for gastrointestinal symptoms, but these studies generally lack robust methodology and do not isolate the effects of Pubescent Angelica itself.
In summary, the use of Pubescent Angelica for IBS is primarily rooted in traditional use, with limited indirect evidence and little to no direct scientific validation. Accordingly, the evidence supporting its use for IBS is weak.
