Synopsis

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

Fragrant Angelica (Angelica dahurica), known in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as Bai Zhi, has a long history of use for various ailments, including infections and inflammatory conditions. In TCM, Bai Zhi is sometimes included in herbal formulas for urinary tract complaints, though it is not considered a primary herb for bladder infections. Its use is more often associated with expelling wind, relieving pain, and reducing swelling, but secondary effects attributed to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties have led to its occasional inclusion in treatments aimed at urinary discomfort or infection.

There is limited scientific research directly investigating the efficacy of Fragrant Angelica for bladder infections (urinary tract infections). Some laboratory studies have shown that extracts of Angelica dahurica possess antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria, but these findings are preliminary, not specific to bladder infection pathogens, and have not been validated in human clinical trials. Thus, its use for bladder infection is primarily justified by traditional practice rather than strong scientific validation. The evidence supporting its specific use for bladder infections is weak (rated 2), reflecting historical use with minimal scientific corroboration. Current clinical guidelines do not recognize Fragrant Angelica as a standard or recommended treatment for bladder infection.
