Product Description:
Dong quai also inhibits platelet aggregation, probably through the presence of ferulic acid. “Dong quai root was studied in patients who had chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver. It improved protein metabolism in 60% of the patients.”
Chinese physicians use dong quai to treat anemia, injuries, migraine headaches, and numerous other conditions. Dong quai increases red blood cell production making it helpful for fatigue as well as anemia because most of us function more efficiently when there are plenty of red blood cells oxygenating the blood.
