Angelica sinensis, commonly known as dong quai (simplified Chinese: 当归; traditional Chinese: 當歸; pinyin: dāngguī; Jyutping: dong1 gwai1; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: tong-kui) or female ginseng, is a herb belonging to the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.

Angelica requires deep moist fertile soil and is perennial if prevented from going to seed.

Although A. sinensis has been used safely in doses up to 150 mg daily, there is evidence that it may affect the muscles of the uterus.

[3][5] Caution is needed when consumed with herbs (such as ginkgo or garlic), which may affect blood clotting.
