Angelica is a genus of plants and herbs that’s often used in traditional medicine, particularly in Asian countries. The roots of many species of Angelica are used to make herbal medicines.
 
The roots and other parts of both of these plants have a long history of use in traditional and herbal medicine, although A. sinensis has been more thoroughly researched.
 
A. sinensis is used in traditional Chinese medicine for various purposes, including hormonal balance, digestive support, and liver detoxification.
 
On the other hand, A. archangelica is traditionally used in European countries for digestive problems, circulation issues, and anxiety.
 
Still, there’s little scientific evidence to support many of these uses for either type.
