Key Harvesting and Processing Techniques for Angelica sinensis (Danggui) (Part One)
(1) Harvesting For direct-sown plants, dig in mid-to-late October of the second year; for seedlings raised in a nursery and then transplanted, dig in mid-to-late October of the same year, when the plants have withered and turned yellow. Digging too early results in roots that are not plump and solid, with low yield and poor quality; digging too late means the soil has already frozen, making digging difficult and prone to breaking the roots. Before harvesting, first cut off the above-ground stems and leaves and sun-dry them for 3-5 days, so that the roots become fuller and more solid; then carefully dig out the entire root.

Method for treating night sweats in livestock with Danggui Liuhuang Tang
Night sweats are mostly caused by yin deficiency with disturbed heat, so that the heart fluid cannot be restrained and stored. In livestock with yin deficiency and internal heat, during the day the defensive qi is firmly secured on the exterior, and even though internal heat steams the fluids, sweating cannot occur; at night the defensive qi moves into the yin division, and without the support of yang qi, the fluids cannot be stored internally, so they leak outward and become night sweats. Treatment principles: nourish yin and clear heat, restrain yin and stop sweating to secure the exterior. Prescription: Angelica sinensis (dong quai) and prepared Rehmannia each 50g, Scutellaria baicalensis and Phellodendron amurense each 40g, Coptis chinensis 30g, Astragalus membranaceus 100g, fossilized bone and oyster shell each 70g, Ephedra root and floating wheat each 80g, one dose daily; after one oral dose the sweating is greatly reduced, and after three doses the condition is cured.
