Herbal Information on Angelica Sinensis Root Tails in Bulk Sliced Form.
What Is Dang Gui Wei In Traditional Chinese Medicine?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Dang Gui Wei refers to the tail part of the Angelica Sinensis root, commonly known as "Dong Quai" or "Chinese Angelica." This herb is famous for its use in TCM due to its potent medicinal properties.
Dang Gui Wei is specifically valued for its ability to invigorate and harmonize the blood, promote circulation, and modulate the immune system. It is often used in formulas targeting menstrual irregularities, recovery from childbirth or illness, and general fatigue. The 'Wei' or tail part of the root is considered to have a stronger action on moving blood and is often used for conditions involving blood stasis, which might manifest as fixed abdominal masses, pain, or traumatic injuries.
The root is processed in various ways to enhance its properties, with different parts of the root (like the tail) being used for slightly different therapeutic targets based on their potency and actions.
