Introduction
Both mulberry fruit and Chinese angelica (Dang Gui) are common traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients, known for their functions in nourishing blood, enriching yin, moistening dryness, and promoting blood circulation. For most people, consuming both together typically does not cause adverse reactions; rather, they may complement each other and enhance the nourishing effects. For example, individuals experiencing symptoms such as blood deficiency, pale complexion, dizziness, and vertigo may benefit from moderate consumption of mulberry fruit and Chinese angelica.

Generally, it is safe to consume mulberries together with angelica root (Dang Gui), and moderate intake is recommended.

Mulberries and angelica root are both common traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients known for their effects of nourishing the blood, enriching yin, moistening dryness, and promoting blood circulation. For most people, consuming them together typically does not cause adverse reactions and may even complement each other, enhancing their nourishing effects. For example, they may provide significant health benefits for individuals experiencing symptoms such as blood deficiency, pale complexion, dizziness, and vertigo.

Although mulberries and angelica root can be consumed together, individual body constitutions and health conditions vary, and responses to herbs may differ. It is important to consume any herb in appropriate amounts, as excessive intake may lead to physical discomfort. Therefore, when consuming mulberries and angelica root, strict control of dosage is necessary to avoid overconsumption. Additionally, since mulberries are cold in nature and angelica root is warm in nature, consuming mulberries may exacerbate symptoms of cold deficiency in individuals with a cold constitution.

In daily diets, it is important to ensure proper combination of foods, avoid excessive consumption of any single ingredient, and maintain a balanced and diverse diet.
