How To Take Dong Quai For PMS & Mood Swing Problems
Some women go through their periods with few or no symptoms. They complete the 28 to 32 days of their cycles without cramps, insomnia or even a twinge of irritability. You might say they are the lucky ones, for other women emerging from this cycle feels as they’ve survived a plane crash.
They are physically depleted and emotionally spent from mood swings that include sobbing, rage and everything in between. Of course these spells can be triggered by the most innocent events, which is to say they occur at the drop of a hat. To make matters worse, they are the result of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Of course these spells can be triggered by the most innocent events, which is to say they occur at the drop of a hat. To make matters worse, they are the result of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
PMS is a condition with a long and sordid history, dating as far back as the time of Hippocrates. The first reference in a scientific journal was made in 1931, and in 1964 Dr. Katherina Dalton wrote the first book on PMS. She used her research to suggest the condition resulted from hormone deficiencies and imbalances. Still more attention was given to PMS in the 1980s, but even today doctors continue to ask if this is a mythical condition designed to simply “explain” the natural mood changes many women undergo.
Not only has PMS proved confounding to health care providers, but to law professionals as well. When used as a legal defense, PMS has previously reduced charges of murder and felonies to manslaughter and misdemeanors, respectively. Some feminists argue the condition is not a valid excuse for acts of crime and keeps women from acquiring equality with men, while others say the mental and emotional changes rendered by PMS demand attention.
Elizabeth Blackmoore is a woman in her early 30s who agrees with the latter argument. She says PMS ruined her marriage; the mood swings she experienced pushed away her husband. One minute she would laugh, and the next she would inexplicably cry.
At its peak, Elizabeth’s PMS was so great that every four weeks she stayed in bed for several days and wallowed in despair. The onset of her period each month brought much-needed relief, but the cycle repeated itself for almost a year.
That’s when her husband finally said enough and filed for divorce.

While PMS and its symptoms can be difficult to overcome, help is available to women who want to lead normal lives. Dong quai is perhaps the most well-known of all Chinese herbs, and with good reason. For hundreds of years, this herb has been used throughout China and Asia to effectively treat symptoms associated with PMS and menopause. Its widespread nickname is “female ginseng,” acquired from the many health benefits it provides.
With regard to mood swings, dong quai starts by soothing and supporting the nervous system. It promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety while also improving energy. Another benefit of dong quai is its balancing properties; it works to increase or decrease estrogen levels when they become too low or too high. In fact, the herb is widely considered to be among the most effective hormone regulators. These combined effects mean fewer mood swings and a greater overall sense of well-being.
Dong quai is ofted used in formulas designed to regulate the symptoms of PMS and menopause. It’s also available in capsule and tablet formulas. Women who prefer the calming effects of tea can opt for dong quai tea, often blended with jasmine, redberry leaf and other herbs that offer a multitude of health benefits.
