Dong Quai (Angelica Sinensis)

Dong quai contains ferulic acid and ligustilide that support uterine smooth muscle tone, improve pelvic circulation, and have mild phytoestrogenic activity through weak estrogen receptor binding. It also has anticoagulant properties that reduce menstrual cramping and improve blood flow. In Chinese medicine, it is considered the primary "blood tonic" for women's reproductive health.

Supports estrogen balance and uterine circulation — particularly valuable for women with scanty periods, poor pelvic circulation, and estrogen deficiency symptoms. Complements black cohosh and chasteberry in a comprehensive women's hormone formula.

Extensive traditional use in Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years. Modern research confirms uterine smooth muscle modulation, anti-inflammatory effects, and mild phytoestrogenic activity. Used in multiple clinical studies for menopausal symptoms in combination formulas.

Best used as part of a combination formula. Avoid during pregnancy and in women on anticoagulant medications. The 1% ligustilide standardization ensures consistent potency.
