Du Huo Slices & Powder (Angelica pubescens) — Dried Chinese Herb for Wind-Damp Formulas

Du Huo (Angelica pubescens) is the dried root of a classic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herb known as Dú Huó (独活), also called Pubescent Angelica Root. For centuries, Du Huo has been prized as a wind-damp dispelling herb, traditionally used to relieve aching joints, soreness of the lower back and knees, and sensations of heaviness in the limbs. Its nature is acrid, bitter, and slightly warm, making it a moving, warming herb that reaches deep into the body to unblock stagnation and restore smooth circulation of qi and blood.
