Dong quai : Dong quai, (Angelica sinensis), also known as Chinese angelica, has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese, Korean, and Japanese medicine. It remains one of the most popular plants in Chinese medicine. Although dong quai has been suggested as a possible immunosuppressant, human studies on the safety and efficacy of this treatment are lacking. Further research is necessary.

Although Dong quai is accepted as being safe as a food additive in the United States and Europe, its safety in medicinal doses is unknown. There are no reliable long-term studies of side effects available. Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to Angelic radix or members of the Aplaceael Umbelliferae family (such as anise, caraway, carrot, celery, dill, or parsley). Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light. Use cautiously with bleeding disorders or if taking drugs that may increase the risk of bleeding (anticoagulants). Use cautiously with diabetes, glucose intolerance, or hormone sensitive conditions (such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, or prostate). Do not use before dental or surgical procedures. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
