Does Dong Quai Help With When used alone, dong quai showed no significant benefit ...?

Evidence Summary

When used alone, dong quai showed no significant benefit over placebo for menopausal symptoms, hot flashes, or estrogenic effects on vaginal cells or endometrial thickness in a 24-week RCT (PMID: 9418683). In multi-ingredient herbal formulas, combinations including dong quai have shown reductions in hot flushes and night sweats, but the individual contribution of dong quai cannot be isolated (PMID: 17454163, PMID: 12224599). Preclinical data suggest its polysaccharides may have anti-leukemic and hematoprotective properties, but no clinical evidence supports these uses (PMID: 24377566, PMID: 29143796).
