Dong Quai is often considered to be the female Ginseng and is a traditional herb for women. Dong Quai is one of the most heavily-used female tonics throughout the world. It is used to balance oestrogen levels with the body by binding to oestrogen receptors in cells. Research also suggests that Dong Quai may regulate uterine function and be of value in normalising menstruation. Its muscle-relaxing qualities are of benefit in conditions such as menstrual cramps, headache, arthritic issues, etc. Dong Quai appears to act as a smooth muscle relaxant, with a special focus on the uterus. This influence on other muscle tissue may partly account for the use of Dong Quai in blood pressure regulation and bronchial asthma. Dong Quai has been shown to dilate blood vessels and is reported to possess a vitamin E-like effect on the circulatory system. SUITABLE FOR VEGANS * FULL POTENCY * KOSHER.
