Female Ginseng
(Latin Name: Angelica sinensis)
(Also called: "Dong Quai")
Size: 2oz bag
Brief History & Origin
Dong Quai is the "Empress of Herbs" in Traditional Chinese Medicine, honored for over 2,000 years as a tonic for women’s health and a sacred root of balance.
The name Dong Quai means “state of return,” symbolizing a return to harmony after illness, depletion, or emotional imbalance.
In ancient Taoist medicine, Dong Quai was used not just to nourish the womb but to soften the spirit—restoring flow where there was stagnation. This earthy, sweet root carries both strength and grace, helping the body remember its cycles, its wisdom, and its connection to nature’s rhythm.
