The plant is related to both parsley and celery and is most commonly used to treat cramps and pain during menstruation as well as to ease some of the symptoms of menopause (hot flashes, night sweats). Dong quai is frequently referred to as “female ginseng” to suggest its "balancing" or adaptogenic effect on the menstrual period. 1) Dong quai is believed to have a balancing or adaptogenic effect on the female hormonal system. 2) Dong quai is also used for both men and women with cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure and problems with pe-ripheral circulation. 3) It is good for treating anemia and weak glands, regulating monthly periods, correcting hot flashes and vaginal spasms (PMS), and assisting women through the difficult transition of menopause.
