Dong Quai is a Chinese herb that is used to balance the feminine cycle. It is native to China, Japan, and Korea. Dong Quai is most effective when used with other herbs to support menstrual regularity.

It has been used to treat a wide range of illnesses, including reproductive health concerns, and is often referred to as "Female Ginseng."
