A warming herb, it grows in cold places, and the roots are harvested after three or more years. It is an important herb in traditional Chinese medicine, often used in combination with other herbs especially to relieve blood stasis and blood deficiency.

Active compounds identified in Dong Quai include phthalides, ferulic acid, flavonoids, phytosterols, volatile oils, coumarins, tannins, and polysaccharides.
