Chinese Angelica, botanically known as Angelica sinensis and commonly referred to as dong quai or dang gui (当归), is a fragrant perennial herb indigenous to the cool, high-altitude mountains of China.
Often colloquially dubbed the "female ginseng", it belongs to the Apiaceae (carrot and celery) family. For thousands of years, it has served as a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Chinese culinary tonic traditions, prized primarily for its thick, aromatic roots.
