Suffering from Anemia? Fatigue and Pain? Try a Proven Herbal Remedy

The herbal remedy Angelica sinensisAngelica sinensis, or its Chinese name Dang gui / Dong quai, is among the most popular herbs in Chinese medicine. The Western world also extensively uses it. Thus, evidence gathered over hundreds and even more years of treatment in Asia is scientifically validated in the U.S. and Europe.

It is considered the "female ginseng," meaning it is a plant meant for women that balances their hormonal system. It offers many benefits and is recommended for:

• Strengthening the entire body system.
• Alleviating menstrual pain and other premenstrual symptoms(PMS).
• Treating anemia – because it acts as a "blood tonic".
• Boosting fertility.
• Regulating the menstrual cycle – helpful for cycles that are too short or too long, or if there are bleedings between cycles.
• Helping with amenorrhea – cases where there is a low menstruation or it stops completely.
• Improving breast milk production – as it's a galactagogue, enhancing milk supply; can be used while breastfeeding.
• Treating hot flashes during menopause.
• Treating polycystic ovary syndrome (Polycystic ovary syndrome).
• Treating weakness and fatigue – according to the Chinese, the herb nourishes blood and is suitable for blood deficiency symptoms like fatigue, weakness, paleness, blurred vision, palpitations, and headaches.
• Improving blood circulation – used for cardiovascular diseases.
• Enhancing mood – often changing before and during menstruation.
• Treating liver diseases – as it also protects and repairs a damaged liver.
• Alleviating chronic inflammations.
• Boosting digestion and absorption.
• Increasing estrogen levels – strengthening female reproductive organs.

Furthermore, various studies have been conducted on the herb's effect on cancer development.

Angelica sinensis offers prominent advantages for women, but caution is advised when using it:

• It's an anticoagulant – considered a blood thinner, thus should not be taken with blood-thinning medications like aspirin or Warfarin Warfarin.
• Do not use during pregnancy – due to its effect on female hormones.
• Not recommended with hormonal medications – as the drugs and the herb work on the same body mechanisms.
• It's a mild laxative (Mild laxative) – best not taken with laxative drugs or if suffering from chronic diarrhea.

Angelica sinensis helps move vital blood flow essential for the proper functioning of all body systems. According to Chinese medicine, the herb is intended to stimulate the flow of qi (energy) throughout the body along the meridians (channels through which qi energy flows), thus helping to balance the body's cycles and enhance its biological functions. It also aims to soften or prevent energy and blood blockages (known as "stagnation" in Chinese medicine), thus preventing stagnation that may lead to pain and the mentioned problems.

Since there's a reciprocal relationship between body and spirit, a blockage in the body can lead to a blockage in the spirit – such as sadness or depression. But a blockage in the spirit can also lead to a blockage in the body. Angelica sinensis can aid in both cases, improving mood, and helping, for instance, in the treatment of postpartum depression. Additionally, since blood loss occurs during birth, the herb can help "build" the blood and benefit the cardiovascular system post-delivery.

Angelica sinensis cannot be purchased individually; it's recommended to be part of a herbal formula personalized for each patient and case. It is advisable to consult with a certified naturopath or clinical herbalist for this purpose. Naturopaths in health funds can also provide prescriptions and procure this unique herb for you.

The creator provided a solution for every challenge and problem. I support the approach that there is a medicinal herb for every medical challenge. This is the creator's way of benefiting us and helping us. The world of medicinal herbs presents many options, often without side effects or addiction – unlike some medications. Therefore, exploring and experiencing medicinal herbs is worthwhile, as their mechanisms of action have been scientifically proven in many studies, greatly benefiting humans. This truly embodies the famous verse from Psalms: "How great are Your works, Hashem, in wisdom You created them all; the earth is full of Your possessions" (Psalms 24).

Best of luck!
