Description: A traditional herbal remedy for the symptoms of PMS.
In Asia, dong quai’s reputation is perhaps second only to ginseng.
Predominantly regarded as a ‘female’ remedy, dong quai has been used in such
conditions as painful menstruation, and for menopausal symptoms. Scientific
investigation has shown dong quai produces a balancing effect on estrogen
activity and a tonic effect on the uterus, normalising uterine contractions.
Dong quai is generally quite safe. However, because it does contain
photoreactive substances, overexposure to sunlight should be avoided.
Caution: Mild diarrhea in large doses. Not to be taken during pregnancy
unless recommended by a health professional.
