 Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dong Quai?
Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis), also known as Dang Gui, is a root traditionally used in Chinese herbal medicine, particularly in formulations associated with women’s health and menstrual wellness. Its traditional use is well established 

How do I use Dong Quai powder?

Steep 1 teaspoon of Dong Quai powder in warm water for 10–15 minutes and drink as an infusion. The powder has an earthy, slightly sweet taste with a characteristic aromatic note. It can also be added to herbal blends, soups or broths.

Can Dong Quai be taken as capsules?
Yes. THP Dong Quai is also available in capsule form for customers who prefer a more convenient, measured format.Take the capsules as directed on the product label with water and a meal. A common traditional approach is to use Dong Quai after ovulation through to the start of the next period. Avoid use during the period if menstrual flow is already heavy.

What is Dong Quai traditionally used for?
Dong Quai has traditionally been used in Chinese herbal medicine in formulations for women’s health, including menstrual and menopausal concerns. 

When during my menstrual cycle should I take Dong Quai?
A common traditional approach is to use Dong Quai during the second half of the menstrual cycle, after ovulation and up to the start of the next period, rather than continuously throughout the entire cycle. If menstrual flow is already heavy, avoid using Dong Quai during the period itself. This is a traditional-use approach rather than a clinically established universal schedule, so anyone using Dong Quai for a specific hormonal or menstrual concern should seek individualized professional guidance.

Can I take Dong Quai if I have heavy periods?
If you have unusually heavy menstrual bleeding or a bleeding disorder, speak with a healthcare professional before using Dong Quai. Dong Quai may increase bleeding risk, particularly when combined with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines. 

Can I use Dong Quai during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No. Dong Quai should be avoided during pregnancy, and reputable clinical sources also recommend avoiding it while breastfeeding because adequate safety data are lacking and there are concerns about pregnancy and bleeding risks. 

Can Dong Quai be taken with blood-thinning medication?
Dong Quai should not be combined with blood thinners such as warfarin without professional medical guidance because it may increase bleeding risk. People taking antiplatelet medicines should also discuss Dong Quai with their healthcare professional before use. 

Can people with hormone-sensitive conditions use Dong Quai?
Anyone with a hormone-sensitive condition or a history of hormone-sensitive cancer should speak with their healthcare professional before using Dong Quai. Some clinical references recommend particular caution with hormone-sensitive cancers, although the estrogen-like activity of Dong Quai in humans is not straightforward; one randomized trial did not find estrogen-like effects on the endometrium or vaginal tissue. 

Does Dong Quai contain phytoestrogens?
Dong Quai is often discussed in the context of women’s hormonal health, but describing it simply as a “phytoestrogen” can be misleading. Its chemistry is complex, and a human clinical trial of Dong Quai alone did not demonstrate measurable estrogen-like effects in the tissues studied.
