Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Korean Angelica (Angelica gigas) has a longstanding role in traditional Korean and East Asian herbal medicine. In historical contexts, various Angelica species, including Korean Angelica, have been used for a range of ailments, particularly those related to women’s health, circulatory problems, and as a general tonic. Reports from traditional texts sometimes mention its use for supporting liver health and relieving symptoms that can overlap with jaundice, such as fatigue or poor appetite. However, direct and consistent reference to its use specifically for treating jaundice in adults is limited and typically not central to its traditional uses.

Modern scientific literature does not provide robust clinical evidence supporting the effectiveness of Korean Angelica for jaundice. There are no high-quality clinical trials or pharmacological studies that specifically investigate its efficacy for jaundice or related liver conditions. The available evidence is mostly anecdotal or based on traditional practice, resulting in a low evidence score.

In summary, the use of Korean Angelica for supporting or treating adult jaundice is based primarily on tradition, with little to no scientific validation. Its use for this condition is not well-documented in either traditional texts or modern medical research, and it should not be relied upon as a primary treatment for jaundice.
