Angelica sinesis
In traditional Chinese medicine, Dong quai is known as dang gui and used to replenish and activate the blood, regulate menstruation, and to lubricate the intestines. It is the foremost Chinese herbal tonic for estrogen and for the uterine system; taken throughout the month but stopped during active menstruation, it may help balance irregular, painful, congested or excessive periods. Dong quai is often included in blends to balance hormones after coming off hormonal birth control (often with vitex) or to maintain healthy estrogen levels and reduce hormonal symptoms during menopause. It is a common ingredient for cold stagnant conditions with blood stagnation or deficiency, such as sallow face, dizziness, palpitations, stubborn pain, traumatic injuries, constipation, carbuncles and sores.
*Dong quai may interfere with hormonal birth control. Because of its stimulating effect on the uterus it should not be used in pregnancy. This may not be a full list of all contraindications.*

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
