Can milk and angelica root (Dang Gui) be consumed together?

Generally speaking, milk and angelica root (Dang Gui) can be consumed together, but intake should be controlled when doing so. The specific analysis is as follows:

Milk is rich in nutrients such as protein and calcium, which helps replenish the body's required energy. Angelica root is a common traditional Chinese herb containing volatile oils, polysaccharides, and other components, and has functions of nourishing blood, promoting blood circulation, regulating menstruation, and relieving pain. There is no obvious conflict between their components, and moderate combination usually does not cause adverse reactions. It can also provide some nutritional and functional complementation.

However, angelica root is warm in nature and sweet and pungent in taste; its medicinal properties may interact with the proteins in milk. Consuming large amounts together might affect gastrointestinal digestion, leading to discomforts such as bloating and diarrhea. Some individuals are more sensitive to herbal medicines, and after consuming angelica root may experience reactions such as nausea and dizziness. When consuming it with milk, one should observe whether the body adapts well.

People allergic to milk or with lactose intolerance should avoid drinking milk to prevent allergic or intolerance symptoms such as rashes and abdominal pain. Angelica root belongs to medicinal herbs; if used for body regulation, the dosage should be controlled under the guidance of a physician, avoiding arbitrary and blind combination with other ingredients.
