Angelica sinensis Information:

Angelica sinensis or "Dong Quai" is an herb from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China. Its drying root is commonly known in Chinese as Radix Angelicae sinensis, or Chinese angelica-A traditional Chinese herbal Extract for the symptoms of PMS.

In Asia, dong quai's reputation is perhaps second only to ginseng. Predominantly regarded as a 'female' remedy, dong quai has been used in such conditions as painful menstruation, and for menopausal symptoms. Scientific investigation has shown dong quai produces a balancing effect on estrogen activity and a tonic effect on the uterus, normalising uterine contractions.

Dong quai is generally quite safe. However, because it does contain photoreactive substances, overexposure to sunlight should be avoided.
