The standard internal dose of Angelica sinensis for adults is approximately 6–12 grams per administration. Children should receive reduced doses proportionally.
When prepared as decoction (common TCM method):
- Adults: 6–12 grams per dose
- Children aged 6–12: 3–6 grams per dose
- Children aged 3–6: 1–3 grams per dose
For alcohol maceration applications, the recommended quantity ranges from 30–100 grams depending on alcohol volume. Individualized dosing should be adjusted post-maceration.
Contraindications:
- Absolute contraindications: Patients with excess heat syndrome hemorrhage
- Relative contraindications:
- Excess dampness with epigastric fullness
- Persistent loose stools
Clinical Notes:
Single-herb formulas rarely achieve optimal therapeutic effects. Angelica sinensis is typically used in compound formulations. Dosing and preparation should strictly follow TCM syndrome differentiation principles under professional supervision.
