Which herb nourishes the blood among the list?

• A. Dan Nan Xing
• B. Dang Gui
• C. Gui Zhi
• D. Bai Zhu

Answer: (B)

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, nourishing the blood means tonifying blood to address deficiency and support circulation and vitality. Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) is the classic blood-nourishing herb—it tonifies and nourishes blood, helps regulate blood flow, and supports liver blood balance. This makes it the best choice for an herb intended to nourish the blood. The other herbs have different primary actions: Gui Zhi mainly warms and releases the exterior and unblocks flow in the channels; Bai Zhu strengthens the spleen and dries damp to support qi and blood production; Dan Nan Xing is more about transforming phlegm and other functions rather than nourishing blood.
