With this point that the importance of hematopoiesis and use of herbal medicines instead of chemical medicines that have side effects, this research has studying the effect of <I>Angelica archangelica</I> hydroalcohol extract on the blood parameters in mice. About 40 mature mices were divided into 5 groups. The control group did not receive any extract, the placebo group received 0.5 cc normal saline every other day and 3 treatment groups received extract with (50, 100, 200) mg/kg/2 days doses that was used IP injection.
