Welcome to our Herb Profile series, where we delve into the potent botanicals used in our wellness blends. Today, we're spotlighting Chinese Angelica, often referred to as 'female ginseng' in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This powerful root has been a cornerstone of women's health for centuries and is a key ingredient in our Soul Warming Soup.
History and Traditional Use
Long revered in TCM, Chinese Angelica, also known as 'Dong Quai', has a history spanning over a thousand years. It is traditionally used to address various health concerns, particularly those related to women's health. From regulating menstrual cycles to easing menopausal symptoms, Chinese Angelica has been a woman's ally through all stages of life.
Benefits and Uses in Postpartum Wellness
When it comes to postpartum wellness, Chinese Angelica truly shines. Its ability to nourish blood and balance hormones makes it an ideal ingredient for new moms. It helps alleviate fatigue, a common concern in the postpartum period, and assists in the body's healing and recovery process.
In Our Products
At The Modern Pui Yuet, we've incorporated the power of Chinese Angelica in our Soul Warming Soup. This comforting, restorative soup is perfect for postpartum mothers. It warms the body and uplifts the spirit, promoting recovery and enhancing mood during the crucial first weeks.
Our Soul Warming Soup is not only soy-free, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly, but also ethical, sustainable, and mother-centered. It features Chinese Angelica alongside other potent ingredients like Red Dates and Rehmannia Glutinosa, all of which work together to support postpartum healing.
How to Use
To enjoy our Soul Warming Soup, simply add six cups of water to a pot and bring it to the boil. Add your chosen meat or vegetables and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for one hour on low heat. We recommend using chicken breast or thigh for meat, and carrots and corn for vegetables. Don't forget to add a touch of sliced ginger for an extra warming effect.
Remember to store the soup mix in a cool, dry place.
Conclusion
Chinese Angelica is just one of the many potent and beneficial herbs we utilize in our products. By understanding its properties, you can better appreciate the thought and intention that go into our blends. Stay tuned as we continue our exploration of TCM botanicals in our next Herb Profile.
