Angelica Chinese

Commonly known as Dong Quai or Female Ginseng, it’s regarded as one of the most important Chinese medicinal herbs. Used for thousands of years in Asia, it is said to help regulate hormones in the blood and promote cardiovascular health among many other health benefits.

Plants are relatively easy to grow, looking and smelling pleasantly similar to celery. They can tolerate cooler climates and shady conditions but need deep free draining soil to develop a taproot which is harvested in the second season.

Note: Medicinal use of herbs requires thorough research. We advise checking with a medical professional particularly if pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication.
