Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take this while I am on my period?
Yes, it is traditionally used to manage symptoms during the cycle. However, because it can invigorate blood flow, some individuals prefer using it in the weeks leading up to their period to support balance.
What does it taste like?
Dong Quai has a very distinct, strong, and earthy flavor with a slightly sweet and celery-like undertone. The organic alcohol base adds a sharpness that is significantly reduced when diluted in water.
How does it work as a "blood tonic"?
In the context of traditional medicine, "tonifying the blood" refers to improving the quality and circulation of blood, which is believed to improve energy levels and skin complexion while supporting the organs.
