Background and Use
Considered the female "master herb," Dong Quai has been used throughout many eastern cultures as a long-term tonic. In Chinese medicine, Dong Quai is believed to work best in patients with a yin profile, and is considered to be a mildly warming herb. Dong Quai is thought to return the body to proper order by nourishing the blood and harmonizing vital energy. The name Dong Quai translates as "return to order" based on its alleged restorative properties. Dong Quai was introduced in the west by Chinese settlers in 1899.
Precautions
Individuals taking anti-coagulant medication should consult their health care professional before taking Dong Quai. Keep out of reach of children. Not recommended for use during pregnancy or while nursing, until further research verifies no contraindications. Discontinue if unusual symptoms occur. Do not exceed recommended dose unless under the guidance of a health care professional.
