Dong Quai, also known as Angelica or Dang Gui, has been a highly treasured herb in the Orient for several thousand years. It is often referred to as "female ginseng", and is excellent as an all purpose women's herb. Next to Panax Ginseng, the root of Dong Quai is undoubtedly the most honored and respected herb in China, and is quickly gaining an equal reputation among users in the rest of the world. Dong Quai has been used for centuries in China for regulating the menstrual cycle and easing menstrual pain and cramping. It is used to promote circulation, to regulate the menstrual cycle and stop discomforts of menstruation and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). In Western herbal terms, it is used for dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), metrorrhagia (too much menstruation) and amenorrhea (too little, or no, menstruation). It can be used to help women regain normal menstrual cycles after taking birth control pills. It has also also proven helpful for relieving hot flashes during menopause. Dong Quai has been used to help sleeplessness and promote normal blood pressure stability for both men and women. (The affect on blood pressure can be an overall lowering although sometimes it may rise slightly first, followed by a decline). Dong Quai is used as a tonic, cardiotonic, respiratory tonic and liver tonic. Most of the actions of this herb depend on the presence of coumarins, phytosterols, polysaccharides and flavonoids.
