What does Dong Quai do?!

Dong Quai is also known as Chinese Angelica and is primarily known for it's uses in treating women's problems including lack of sexual desire, the symptoms of menopause, cramps and PMS. It aids in increasing the effects of hormones in both men and women and is widely used as an aphrodisiac. Dong Quai is particularly useful in helping to end hot flashes and menstrual cramps. It is also used as a liver tonic and in treating sciatica and shingles. It is one of the most widely consumed herbs in China, used as frequently as ginseng and licorice. Dong quai has been used by the Chinese for more than two thousand years, as a strengthener of the heart, lung, spleen, liver and kidney meridians and as a tonic for the blood. It is traditionally characterized as a warm atmospheric energy that promotes blood circulation.

Claims made for this herb are so ridiculous it borders on complete fantasy.

"The lady" will tell you any old rubbish to sell you the product, she's a store assistant, not a doctor and probably on commission. Herbs are untested and unregulated and many so-called natural herbs are being contaminated with western drugs to produce a noticeable effect. You could be consuming any type of poisonous contaminant and as this stuff is not checked, you'd never know.

If you're ill, go and see a properly qualified medical doctor.

Nothing.
