Angelica archangelica is used in China to promote balance and purify the reproductive tract, and this herb has been found especially useful in combination with Cortex phellodendi and Semen cuscute to bring comfort to yeast overgrowth victims in China and the Far East. Angelica archangelica is also known to supplement the blood and stimulate the circulation. Found plentiful in this herb are natural substances known as phytoestrogens, materials that are thought capable of binding to estrogen-receptors in humans. When estrogen levels are high, these substances may help moderate and balance the body, reducing overall activity by occupying receptor sites, and, when estrogen is low, phytoestrogens can exert estrogen-like activity by the same mechanism. Evidence demonstrates that Angelica archangelica can help to counter the increased possibility of hemorrhaging often associated with long-term cancer treatments with chemotherapy. This herb has been used traditionally to aid in the soothing of abdominal cramps both through what has been found to be its "relieving" effects and by its possible activity on smooth muscle fiber. Interestingly, the traditional Chinese medical practitioners have used this herb to ensure a healthy pregnancy as well as aid in a relatively painless delivery of children.
