Systematics
It was first described in 1816 under the name ( Basionym ) Callisace dahurica by Friedrich Ernst Ludwig von Fischer in George Franz Hoffmann : Genera Plantarum Umbelliferarum , 170, Figure 18. The new combination to Angelica dahurica (Fisch. Ex Hoffm.) Benth. & Hook. f. was published in 1873 by George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker in Enumeratio Plantarum in Japonia Sponte Crescentium ... , Volume 1, 1, p. 187.
There are two subspecies of Angelica dahurica :
- Angelica dahurica (Fisch. Ex Hoffm.) Benth. & Hook. f. var. dahurica (Syn .: Angelica macrocarpa H.Wolff , Angelica porphyrocaulis Nakai & Kitag. , Angelica porphyrocaulis var. albiflora Makino , Angelica tschiliensis H.Wolff ): It grows on forest edges, in valley meadows and banks of rivers in altitudes of 500 up to 1000 meters. It is common in Japan , Korea , Siberia and the Chinese provinces of Hebei , Heilongjiang , Jilin , Liaoning and Shaanxi .
- Angelica dahurica var. Formosana (H. Boissieu) Yen (Syn .: Angelica formosana H. Boissieu ): This endemic thrives on the edges of forests at altitudes of 600 to 800 meters only in the northern part of Taiwan .
Use as a medicinal plant
Siberian angelica in traditional Chinese medicine
The Siberian angelica (白芷) was featured prominently in the oldest Chinese medicinal plant book, the Shennong ben cao jing . The main effect attributed to its roots in traditional Chinese medicine is the defense against the penetration of cold into the forehead area . "Red and white vaginal discharge " were given as further indications .
The currently valid Chinese pharmacopoeias recommend the root drug for the following diseases: cold headache, pain in the bones above the eyebrow, nasal congestion, nosebleeds, toothache, discharge, painful ulcers. The plant is currently the subject of analytical research into its ingredients.
Siberian angelica in European complementary medicine
Besides the local angelica in European are complementary medicine and the Chinese angelica and the Siberian angelica prescribed. After it became known that the drugs imported from China are mostly contaminated with heavy metals, mold toxins and pesticides, the Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture (LfL) is operating the controlled cultivation of Chinese drugs in Bavaria. Through controlled cultivation, risks such as mix-ups and contamination can be avoided. The LfL has published detailed cultivation instructions for Siberian angelica (Bai zhi) .
