Dong quai is used to:

• Treat premenstrual symptoms such as breast swelling and tenderness, mood swings, bloating and headache
• Treat menstrual cramps
• Treat symptoms of menopause (permanent end of menstrual cycles) such as hot flashes

Dong quai also has other uses that haven’t been studied by doctors to see if they work.

Talk with your healthcare provider before taking dong quai supplements. Herbal supplements can interact with some medications and affect how they work.
