Price range: $6.11 through $13.24
Description
Dried Chinese Angelica Root Slices, known in TCM as Dang Gui (当归), from Angelica sinensis. These whole-root head slices are cut from dried Angelicae Sinensis Radix, a classic blood-nourishing herb traditionally associated with the heart, liver, and spleen channels, with a sweet, slightly pungent and warm nature. Traditionally valued in herbal soups and decoctions, it pairs naturally with astragalus and codonopsis. This is a raw herbal food ingredient, not a medicine.
