Can Chinese Angelica Help With Menopause?

10/26/2016

 
Also known as Dang Gui, Tang Kuei, and Chinese Angelica this herb helps to regulate hormonal balance. Because it helps regulate hormones, it prevents calcium loss due to hormonal deficiency. It is known as a women’s tonic. There is anecdotal evidence that it helps with menopausal symptoms.
  • For hot flashes take dong quai, chaste tree and damiana 1 dropperful of tinctures of each OR 2 capsules of each once a day at noon
  • If you want to take dong quai alone, take 500-700 mg tablets 3-5 times a week OR 1 cup of tea 3-5 times a week
  • It is best to take it for a 6-8 week trial to see if it works for you.
Dong Quai is said to be nontoxic and it doesn’t have estrogenic activity. However, according to WebMD, long-term use may increase the risk of cancer. Always consult your doctor before taking any herbs or supplements.
