The Friendly Herb

There are many herbs that we are just finding out exactly what they are really good for and what negative effects they can have on us generally.

Just reading an article which suggests Angelica (Angelica sinensis) can help with the digestive system. Used by the Chinese women to keep them strong and vibrant from puberty on, these Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine believe that angelica makes periods less painful, enables conception, eases childbirth, and helps ensure an easier menopause as well as a digestive stimulant. Seems like a miraculous herb! We do have to be aware if there are bleeding disorders as Angelica thins the blood.

It is also researched to show that Angelica compounds bind to circulating free radicals, thereby rendering them harmless. Free radicals are highly reactive chemicals produced by the body that can accelerate the aging process by damaging the body inside and out.

Our immune function lessens with age and with fewer immune cells patrolling the body for foreign invaders (bacteria and viruses) and cancer cells, we become more vulnerable to infection and cancer. Researchers have found that angelica stimulates the production and activity of immune cells.
