Objective: Evaluate the relationship between the inorganic elements and the genuineness, invigoration efficacy of this medicinal material by qualitative and quantitative analysis of the inorganic elements in Angelica sinensis and its correspondence soil.
Methods: The contents of 14 kinds of inorganic elements from 40 samples from 4 main habits of Angelica sinensis in China were determined by the method of ICP-AES.
Results: In Angelica sinensis and its correspondence soil, significant positive correlations existed between each pair of Ca, Na, Ni. The enrichment coefficients of Mg by Angelica sinensis was a certain peculiarity. The analysis showed that Zn, Cu, Mn, Mg were distincter to Angelica sinensis's geo-authentic than other elements. The results seemly confirmed that the Mingui was considered as geo-authentic crude drugs by traditional knowledge.
Conclusion: The inorganic elements in Angelica sinensis may be correlated with its geo-authentic certainly. This result can provide scientific basis for understanding of Angelica sinensis's geo-authentic nature and the active material base.

Introduction: Angelica sinensis is one of the most popular traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) and has been extensively used to treat various diseases. Hundreds of endogenous ingredients have been isolated and identified from this herb, but their spatial distribution within the plant root is largely unknown.
Objectives: In this study, we tried to investigate and map within-tissue spatial distribution of metabolites in Angelica sinensis roots.
