摘 要:Chinese Danggui is the root of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (Angelica polymorpha Maxim. var. sinensis Oliv.) (Umblliferae), which is cultivated chiefly in Minxian County, Gansu Province as well as in the Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, and Hubei Provinces. Though some other herbs of the same family, such as Angelica acutiloba (Sieb. et Zucc.) Kita., Angelica gigas Nakai and Levisticum officinale Koch, have also been used in medicine, Angelica sinensis Diels is the most widely used and the best known among them. The Chinese people began to use Chinese Danggui as a remedy for certain diseases as early as over 2 000 years ago and the drug is now still clinically widely used for many diseases.
