Abstract
Angelicas Tenuissimae Radix (ATR) has traditionally been used for flu-like symptoms, limb-ache and disability, and even for toothache. In the present study, the effect of ATR on carrageenan-induced edema, acetic acid-induced abdominal pain, and heat-induced hyperalgesia were investigated using rats and mice. In the present results, ATR reduced carrageenan-induced edema in rats and inhibited acetic acid-induced abdominal pain in mice. Here in this study, we have shown that ATR possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
