Dong quai

(Chinese Angelica sinensis) (pure herb)

Dong Quai (Chinese Angelica) is widely consumed in China - used as frequently as ginseng and licorice.

It has been eaten for more than two thousand years to help strengthen the heart, lung, spleen, liver and kidney meridians. It is also considered a tonic for the blood and as a herb to promote blood circulation.

Dong Quai contains phytoestrogens and is known for helping with women's problems including lack of sexual desire, menopause and PMS symptoms. The herb also contains coumarins which dilate blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the uterus. Widely used amongst Chinese women as a fortifying daily tonic (similar to how Chinese men rely on ginseng). Women in other parts of the world have also discovered this 5,000 year old tradition that naturally provides balancing and normalising support for women's unique rhythms, cycles and body systems. It is no wonder it has earned a reputation as the "ultimate herb" for women!

NB: It is not recommended during pregnancy or menstruation or for people taking blood thinning agents. For further reading - see notes section.

Notes

Dong quai is not recommended for children because no information relating to appropriate doses of the herb for children has been found in the literature to date. Dong quai should not be used by those who have chronic diarrhea or abdominal bloating. At particularly high doses it may increase an individual's sensitivity to sunlight and subsequently cause skin inflammation and rashes. People taking dong quai should minimize their exposure to sunlight or use sunscreen while taking the herb. It should not be taken with other medications or herbs (such as St. John's wort) that cause the same reactions.

Dong quai should not be used during pregnancy because it may affect the muscular functioning of the uterus. It should also be avoided by nursing mothers, because there is little information about its effect on the infant through breast milk.

Dong quai can increase the potency and therefore potential risks of blood-thinning medications, such as warfarin, so it should not be taken with these medicines. Although there is little research on the use of dong quai with hormone medications such as estrogens, progesterones, oral contraceptives, tamoxifen or raloxifene, health practitioners advise against using them together due to the possibility of adverse effects.

Although reported extremely rarely and not published in the scientific literature, combining dong quai with other herbs that thin the blood could possibly increase the risk of bleeding in some people. When combined with dong quai, herbs with this potential should be used only with tremendous caution and supervision. These include feverfew, garlic, ginger, ginkgo biloba, asian ginseng, licorice, chinese skullcap and turmeric.
