I have been using Dong Quai for about six weeks now and my hot flashes are completely gone! I know it's the dong quai because I ran out and the hot flashes started again. I was taking two with each meal but am cutting down to one with meals to. See if that works too. I highly recommend this!

When I first heard of Dong Quai I was 10 years into Night Sweats. At first it seemed to help some but over time it became apparent is was not making the diff I needed. Huge negative, it made me VERY gassy!

recently i had a severe bleeding through my colons while going to the toilet. it was caused by a wrong usage of laxative some time ago, later i had a rosemary food poisoning and that caused the first severe bleeding. afterwards, while i was ingesting too much spicy food, that caused the second bleeding and after that, it became worse. i lost about 3 liters of blood, therefor loads of iron lost too. for about 3 weeks, i could not walk normally, of and on. after the bleeding stopped, i started to use dong quai and i immediately noticed the change in energy and shortbreath while walking up stairs. i am glad that my parents know this well and advised me to use it.

I had brewed Anglica Root ( dong quai ) with lemon verbena ( louisa) and jujube (chinese red date) the tea is refreshing and it helps me with energy levels, brain fog and what i noticed is it also helped with wound healing as I had unhealed sores but this helped me.

I have serious period cramps, to the extent that the pain aggravates other pain from old injuries. I've tried evening primrose oil, ginger, drinking sports drinks, etc, and nothing short of paracetamol works as well as this does for relieving cramps. If I take a 123mg capsule at every meal I can basically avoid having cramps at all.

There is very little evidence in English but plenty of it in Chinese. It's helped my PMS and regulates the blood flow, thickening my uterus lining, and less pain during my period. I used it almost 10 years ago to freeze my eggs and I produced amazing quality eggs during harvest. At age 40+ thought that it will take me a very long time to get pregnant. I recently conceive easily in the 1st month of trying. I believe it's the effect of taking this herb for 1 year before trying to conceive. Highly recommended.Read More Read Less

this took 1 week for my hot flashes to subside and another week for them to go away. I haven't taken them for about 2 weeks now and my flashes have not returned (knock on wood). Im so thankful.

I found dong quai sold as “lady’s comfort tea” in an Asian supermarket and decided to try it. It helps me with pms symptoms like breast tenderness and bloating. I believe it helps my period come on a little bit sooner. I take it when I notice pms symptoms and stop when my period starts.

I have used it for amenorrhea it does help bring on menses. I also used it when I had a ischemic stroke in 2013. I had Protein S deficiency and when I returned to see hematologist my result were normal. The problem is that I stop using it, I need to stay on top of it and use more often.

I took this herb to help reduce PMS, which has been particularly strong since my myomectomy surgery earlier this year. Aftter trying this herb for 2 days, I developed intense itching everywhere that I had hair - from public areas, ears, to scalp. I discontinued taking it after days. Not sure how much time it needed to take effect but I didn't notice any imrpovement with irritation, heat sentation, or overall hormome imbalance.

I had the brown mask on my face. After 2 weeks of use it is gone. My mood was up and down and now I am not so moody. My weight I was gaining all the time. Now I have dropped some weight but I am maintaining. A lot of my sugary cravings are gone. I am happy with the results with dong quai and will continue with it.

This has greatly reduced my hot flashes -- both frequency and intensity -- though not eliminated them completely. I'm currently taking Nature's Way 565 mg 2x a day. I have taken other brands and one of them didn't work at all but I don't remember what brand that was. I haven't noticed any side effects.

Like many women, menopause HRT premarin created heart issues with me and I got off them immy when hearing this but I got AFIB from it. Many women have heart issues during onset menopause due to hormonal changes and Dong Quai helps in every area with physical symptoms. I also note that it helps with my mental lows.
