Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Fragrant Angelica (Angelica dahurica), also known as Bai Zhi in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has a long history of use in East Asian herbal practices. Traditionally, it is employed for various purposes including promoting circulation, alleviating pain, and addressing certain gynecological issues such as dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) and irregular menstruation. The traditional reasoning is rooted in TCM theory, where Fragrant Angelica is believed to dispel wind, relieve pain, and reduce swelling, which is sometimes associated with menstrual discomforts.

There is, however, limited scientific research specifically validating Fragrant Angelica’s efficacy for reproductive health in humans. Most available studies focus on its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties, with very few examining direct effects on the reproductive system. Thus, the use of Fragrant Angelica for supporting the reproductive system is justified primarily by traditional practices rather than robust clinical evidence. While some animal or in vitro studies may hint at potential mechanisms, these are insufficient to warrant a higher evidence rating. Therefore, its use for this purpose should be viewed as traditional and approached with cautious optimism until more definitive scientific studies are available.
