Dong Quai Root

🌿 Dong Quai – The Queen of Herbal Tonics 🌿
Welcome to Explore Herbs, your guide to healing through nature.

Say hello to Dong Quai Root (Angelica sinensis), one of the most powerful and respected herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Often called the “Female Ginseng,” Dong Quai has been used for centuries to restore hormonal balance, support reproductive health, and nourish the blood and energy of the body.

✨ Healing Properties:

• Supports women’s health: Eases menstrual cramps, regulates cycles, and balances hormones

• Aids in menopause support, reducing hot flashes and mood swings

• Nourishes and strengthens the blood—great for anemia and fatigue

• Acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant

• Promotes circulation, especially helpful after childbirth or surgery

💫 Positive Energy & Spiritual Benefits:
Dong Quai is deeply yin-nourishing, making it energetically grounding and restorative. It’s said to balance the sacral chakra, which governs emotional flow, sensuality, and creativity. This root carries a feminine, healing energy that restores harmony to the body and spirit—ideal for those in need of deep self-care and inner strength.

🍵 How to Use Dong Quai Root:

• Herbal decoction or tea: Simmer dried root to extract its rich tonic properties

• Capsules or tinctures: For easy daily hormonal and blood support

• Blended formulas: Often combined with other herbs like Rehmannia or Peony in traditional tonics

• Note: Not recommended during pregnancy, menstruation with heavy bleeding, or while on blood thinners—always consult a professional before use.

🌱 Can You Grow Dong Quai?
Yes, but it requires a little care. Dong Quai is a perennial plant that grows well in cool, damp climates with partial shade. It thrives in rich, loamy soil and needs regular watering. It may take two years to fully mature and produce a usable root—but it’s worth the wait for this powerful healer.

Not for use during pregnancy except under the supervision of a qualified healthcare practitioner. Not to be used with blood thinning medications. We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are nursing or on any medications.
