Dong Quai, also known as Angelica Root, is considered to be a female remedy. It has helped many women achieve greater comfort during PMS, menstrual pain and menopause. Dong Quai works as an excellent tonic for the reproductive system, therefore relieving a wide range of gynecological complaints.

It is estimated that hormonal imbalance affects 70 percent of all women. When women feel menstrual pain, whether it is cramps, back pain, or headache, all too often they reach for pain relievers. It is more sensible to approach the problem head on. When a drug numbs the nerves so that one cannot feel pain, what has been done to correct the problem? Hiding pain is not a solution.

Bringing the body back into balance is the goal. Dong Quai has antispasmodic properties which may naturally relax uterine contractions by increasing the effects of ovarian hormones. This herb is also known to relieve menstrual irregularity, lack of menstruation and mood swings.

During menopause, women can experience hot flashes, vaginal dryness and depression. This is a time when the body is supposed to naturally shift from the ovaries to the adrenals, for estrogen production. Dong Quai can naturally assist this transition.

Dong Quai also:

- helps women who are going off 'the pill' to resume normal menstrual cycle
- is rich in Vitamin A, B12 and E, and may help to prevent anemia
- has been used to treat insomnia
- has helped with high blood pressure

Dong Quai is best taken after menstruation begins and continued until the next menstruation. If you experience cramps, continue taking Dong Quai during menstruation. This herb should not be taken during pregnancy.

Many women have conquered their monthly complaints with Dong Quai, and now experience pain-free menstruation, and trouble free menopause. Dong Quai may be just what you need to restore balance in your life.
