Dong Quai is nature's natural herbal alternative for menstrual cycle and menopause relief

During the mid to late 40's and early 50's women experience a reduced amount of estrogen and progesterone which can cause numerous hormonal imbalances. These imbalances are often manifested as menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, depression and anxiety. While hormone replacement therapies are available they tend to increase the risk of cancer. Therein lies the dilemma for many women. To avoid the miseries of menopause and maintain a reasonable quality of life a safe and effective form of relief is needed. Fortunately, nature provides relief for this dilemma in the form of a safe and natural herbal remedy called Dong Quai.

Dong Quai could be described as the ultimate herb for women and thus is often referred to as ginseng for women. The root of Dong Quai, also known as Angelica, is generally regarded as the most respected herb next to Panax ginseng and has been in use by the Chinese for centuries as a menstrual remedy. This popular herb can be a blessing for women in need of addressing gynecological problems such as: menstrual cycle regulation, PMS, pain and cramping during menstruation and menopausal symptoms due to hormone changes.

Dong Quai is prescribed by European doctors

Women in European countries have been using Don Quai as prescribed by their doctors to help alleviate pain, depression and anxiety related to hormonal imbalances. Attitudes toward alternative forms of medicine are much more liberal in European and Asian countries than in North America. In fact much of the research on Dong Quai comes from European researchers. Studies have found that the effects of this herb stem from the phytoestrogen compounds it possesses which act like natural estrogen as produced by the body. Dong Quai or Angelica herbal tonics have also found uses as blood cleansing treatment, arthritis pain relief, anemia and migraine headache relief.

If your a healthy female seeking relief from menstrual or menopause issues Dong Quai may just be the natural, safe remedy you've been looking for.
