Angelica Sinensis and Chinese Arborvitae: A Review on its Phytochemical & Pharmacological Importance
Main Article Content
Abstract
Angelica sinensis and Chinese arborvitae has had a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicinal herbs and have been used to heal various ailments such as heartburn, overnight urination, arthritis, circulation problems and androgenic alopecia, pain, hemorrhoids, abnormally heavy bleeding during menstrual periods and many other conditions. The modern pharmacological studies discovered that these two plants have a wide variety of beneficial attributes for human health. Besides, its importance, a review of this both plants have not been properly assessed in the scientific literature to date. Here, we review and summarize the historic and recent literature concerning the botany, phytochemistry, pharmacological activities, and toxicity of this wonder plant. This summary could be advantageous for future research objective to exploit the therapeutic potential of these beneficial medicinal plants.
