Is it Suitable for Children to Eat Angelica Sinensis?

Question

During the process of tooth development, the formation of enamel is a key stage. In this context, is it suitable for children to consume Angelica Sinensis?

Answer

Angelica Sinensis primarily functions to replenish blood and eliminate free radicals in the body, offering benefits such as blood tonification, regulation of menstruation, blood circulation, pain relief, cough relief, and asthma relief. Its primary function is blood tonification, which makes it appropriate for treating related symptoms during the process of enamel formation in tooth development. Angelica Sinensis can be consumed with food, such as when it is cooked with ginger to make lamb soup, which can replenish blood and improve circulation while expelling coldness. Alternatively, it can be used to make a chicken soup with Astragalus Root, achieving effects of blood tonification, nourishing deficiency, and kidney tonification. However, due to its somewhat drying nature, special attention should be paid by those with yin deficiency. Inappropriate supplementation may cause harm to the body. Therefore, it is acceptable for children to consume Angelica Sinensis in small amounts or occasionally.
