Synopsis

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

Pubescent Angelica (Angelica pubescens), known as "Du Huo" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is primarily used for its purported effects on rheumatic conditions, particularly for relieving pain associated with joints and muscles. Historically, its use for sore throat is not a primary indication in TCM, but it may appear in multi-herb formulas addressing broader "wind-cold-damp" conditions, which can sometimes include throat discomfort as a symptom. The evidence supporting its specific use for sore throat is based more on traditional practice than on scientific validation. There are very limited modern pharmacological studies directly linking Pubescent Angelica to relief of sore throat symptoms. Most references focus on its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which are theorized to potentially contribute to symptom relief if inflammation is present in the throat. However, rigorous clinical trials or direct experimental evidence for its effectiveness in treating sore throat are lacking. Therefore, the use of Pubescent Angelica for sore throat is justified primarily by tradition, with low-level supporting evidence and no strong scientific validation to date.
