Dang Gui roots (medicinetraditions.com)
Two different types of Dang Gui available on the Chinese Market. Left is the dried root with head and rootlets removed;
Right is the whole root with head and rootlets and which has been lightly steamed with alcohol before drying.
(Adam, 2015, 2016)

Botanical name:
Angelica spp.
  1. A. sinensis (syn. A. polymorpha var. sinensis) (China)
  2. A. gigas (Korea)
  3. A. acutiloba (Japan)
While the latter is very similar to A. sinensis, A. gigas is different in appearance, use and chemical composition. See Angelica gigas

Parts used:
Root

Temperature & Taste:
Warm, slightly moist. Sweet, Pungent

Classifications:
N. Blood Tonic

Uses:
1. Nourish the Blood, Regulate Menstruation:
-amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea; a main herb in TCM for Menstrual disorders
-blood deficiency syndrome, anemia, pernicious anemia
-skin diseases, eczema, dermatitis, neurodermatitis, psoriasis (with blood deficiency)
-sores, abscess with blood deficiency
-restores heat in the lower body (Tibet)

2. Moves the Blood, Eases Pain:
-important for Gynecological and Postpartum diseases with Blood stasis
-'very important drug in treating postpartum diseases'; (Chen Cheng)
-thrombophlebitis, neuralgia, arthritis
-chronic nephritis, constrictive aortitis, hepatitis, Raynaud’s disease
-pain due to blood stasis, trauma, bruising

3. Moisten the Intestines, Promote Stool:
-good to move the bowels in dryness, weakness or blood deficiency
-has an opening effect similar to the Opening Roots

4. Reduces Swelling, Promotes Healing:
-sores and abscesses that are slow-to-heal due to poor circulation

5. Clears Wind-Cold:
-'good for all diseases caused by invasion of pathogenic Wind'. (Da Ming)
-can be used for Wind-type Headache

-this is not a modern indication but shows a relation to Western Angelica and Angelica Bai Zhi


DOSE:
Decoction: 4–12 grams
Powder: 1–3 grams

NOTE:
Different parts of the Root have different functions traditionally:
1. The Head is most tonifying and is called Dang Gui Tou; but its blood-moving effect is weak.
2. The fine lateral roots are called Dang Gui tail (Dang Gui Wei). They are stronger to move Blood, but less tonifying.
3. The main body of the root has both aspects, tonifying and activating, being slightly more tonifying.
4. 'Dang Gui produced in Sichuan is strong in function and can be used in the dispersion of pathological conditions. That produced in Qinzhou is mild in function and can thus be used as a toni'c' (Han Mao). This again shows a strong dispersing nature in Dang Gui which is associated with its pungent taste. Stronger types such as that found wild can also be used for dispersing external Wind-Cold disease.

PREPARATION:
1. Stir-fried Dang Gui:
  Stir-fried until yellow or lightly scorched removes the laxative effect; it is good for menstrual disorders with Diarrhea.
2. Wine-prepared Dang Gui:
  Prepared with Wine, it is stronger to enter the Blood and clear stasis (this is called Jiu Xi Dang Gui).
3. Ginger-prepared Dang Gui:
  The root may be prepared with Ginger in a couple of variations. The fresh juice of ginger can be sprinkle on the Dang Gui roots which are then baked or lightly dry-fried. Alternatively, a strong decoction of fresh Ginger may be prepared, and the Dang Gui roots are soaked in overnight, then removed and dried in the sun the following day, or else baked.
  This is especially useful for dispersing Phlegm stagnation, but can also be used for acute Wind-Cold diseases. It also has the benefit of harmonising the Stomach.
4. Charred Dang Gui:
  Like various other Blood herbs, Dang Gui can be charred until blackish on the outside but still yellow inside to stop Bleeding.

Main Combinations:
Tonic:
1. Weakness, Debility, Fatigue
i. Angelica Dang Gui is often combined with Astragalus Huang Qi. This potent combination strengthen Qi and Blood; good for debility, fatigue, excess blood loss. A large dose of Huang Qi (30 grams) is often used with Dang Gui (6–9 grams). (This forms Dang Gui Bu Xue Tang)
ii. stronger than the preceding, Angelica Dang Gui, Astragalus Huang Qi, Ginseng (from Wang Haogu)
iii. Qi and Blood deficiency, Angelica Dang Gui with Codonopsis Dang Shen, Atractylodes Bia Zhu, Paeonia Bai Shao, Poria Fu Ling, Licorice (as in Ba Zhen Tang)

9. Menopausal hot flushes, insomnia and fatigue, Dang Gui with Camomile (Matricaria) (proven effect)

Blood Stasis, Pain:
10. Trauma, Bruising, Fixed, stabbing pain, Fractures:
i. Angelica Dang Gui with Salvia Dan Shen, Myrrh and Frankincense (as in Huo Luo Xiao Ling Dan)

Cautions:
1. Not used in Diarrhea or loose stool from Spleen deficiency.
2. Research has demonstrated a tumurogenic effect on Breast Cancer cells (see here). However, other population-based research showed a weak but significant protective effect against Breast Cancer (see here). The use of Dang Gui in Breast Cancer remains controversial with various sources recommending Dang Gui should not be used in Breast Cancer. As a component of larger formulas in Breast Cancer treatment it probably poses no risk but offers several benefits.

DRUG INTERACTIONS
Dang Gui may potentiate Blood thinners.
No negative interaction with Aspirin was found (see here)
