So, what is angelica sinensis?

Angelica sinensis, commonly known as dong quai, is a perennial plant that grows in high-altitude regions of China, Korea, and Japan. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine as a remedy for menstrual cramps, menopausal symptoms, and other female reproductive issues. The plant's root is the most commonly used part, and it is often dried and ground into a powder or brewed into a tea. Angelica sinensis contains compounds that may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hormone-regulating effects. It is also sometimes used in culinary dishes, particularly in Chinese cuisine.
