Will eating motherwort cause weight gain?

"Mother of Life," commonly refers to Angelica sinensis (Dang Gui) in traditional Chinese medicine. It is revered in TCM as the "pioneer herb for nourishing blood," and is primarily used to regulate menstrual disorders in women and improve symptoms of blood deficiency. Angelica sinensis itself does not contain high-calorie ingredients that would significantly contribute to weight gain, so moderate consumption of Angelica sinensis alone is unlikely to cause weight gain. Angelica sinensis is often used in cooking or made into health supplements, such as Angelica and red date soup, which may contain added sugars or other high-calorie ingredients. Excessive consumption of such foods may lead to weight gain due to an overall caloric surplus. In addition, Angelica sinensis may be combined with other tonic herbs, which together could affect metabolism and thereby influence weight indirectly. If you have any concerns regarding weight management and the use of Angelica sinensis, it is best to consult a qualified physician or nutritionist.
