Daily study found that angelica powder can alleviate cold of hands and feet

A team of researchers from Shiga Prefecture University and Polaroid Chemical Industry Co., Ltd recently announced that they found that the powder extracted from the stems of Angelica sinensis helps to maintain body surface temperature and reduce symptoms such as cold hands and feet The tender root of Angelica sinensis is also known as Rhizoma Notopterygii, which is used as a plant medicine with analgesic effect This time, the research group focused on the stems that can be eaten by Angelica sinensis, and made the powder after extracting the essence, and then drank the experiment The team examined in detail the changes of body surface temperature after the participants entered the colder room It was found that the fingertip temperature would be reduced by about 4 degrees Celsius at most, but the people who drank angelica powder would only be reduced by about 2 degrees Celsius at most The powder was given to women with chills for two months in a row, and 85% felt less cold in their hands, feet and back The team found that people who drank angelica powder increased sympathetic activity, such as regulating body surface temperature, by about 15% However, the same effect could not be obtained after cooking and eating angelica The team believes that this is due to the loss of active ingredients in the process of removing astringency or heating.
