Dong Quai, known as “female ginseng” in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has been valued for over two thousand years for its wellness-supporting properties. Derived from the root of Angelica sinensis, this herb is commonly used alone or in combination with other herbs. Dong Quai is a member of the Apiaceae family and is native to the cool, damp, high-altitude regions of China and Japan. It thrives in cold climates and produces small clusters of white flowers. The root, which is harvested in the fall, is most often used in herbal formulations, tinctures, or encapsulated for its beneficial qualities.
The name “Dong Quai” translates to “state of return,” stemming from an ancient Chinese legend in which an angel advised a monk to use Dong Quai to cure a deadly plague. This herb is especially popular for supporting women’s health in TCM, offering natural balance and vitality.
Dong Quai should not be used during pregnancy except under the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner. It is also not recommended for use with blood-thinning medications. As always, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before using herbal products, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
