Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Korean Angelica (Angelica gigas) has a long history of use in traditional Korean and East Asian medicine, particularly in formulas designed to support blood health and treat conditions like anemia. In traditional Korean medicine, the root is considered a "blood tonic," believed to nourish and invigorate the blood. This is similar to the use of Angelica sinensis (Dong Quai) in traditional Chinese medicine. Historical texts and herbal compendia document its use in treating symptoms associated with blood deficiency, such as fatigue, dizziness, and pallor.

However, modern scientific studies specifically validating the efficacy of Korean Angelica for the treatment of anemia in humans are limited. Some laboratory and animal studies suggest that extracts from Angelica gigas may stimulate hematopoiesis (the formation of blood cells) and have antioxidant properties, but these findings are preliminary and not conclusive. No large-scale, rigorous clinical trials have confirmed its effectiveness in treating anemia in humans.

In summary, the use of Korean Angelica for anemia is primarily supported by traditional medicine practices and historical usage, with only limited preclinical scientific evidence and a lack of robust clinical validation.
