Synopsis

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

Pubescent Angelica (Angelica pubescens), also known as Du Huo in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is primarily used in traditional herbal practices. Its main historical application is for musculoskeletal complaints such as joint pain, rheumatism, and lower back pain, rather than for direct support of the reproductive system. However, in some TCM formulations, Angelica species (most commonly Angelica sinensis, or Dong Quai) are used to support female reproductive health, including menstrual regulation and relief of gynecological discomfort. The use of Angelica pubescens specifically for reproductive system support is justified on traditional grounds, mostly due to its inclusion in multi-herb formulas that address symptoms sometimes associated with menstruation and reproductive health. However, high-quality clinical studies directly investigating Pubescent Angelica’s effects on the reproductive system are lacking. The majority of scientific research on reproductive health focuses on Angelica sinensis rather than Angelica pubescens. Therefore, the evidence supporting Angelica pubescens for reproductive system health is rooted in traditional use, with a low evidence rating due to a lack of direct scientific validation.
