Does Dong Quai Help Perimenopause Symptoms? Evidence, Safety & Dosage Explained

Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis), known as Dang Gui in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is widely used for hormone balance and women’s reproductive health — but does it actually reduce perimenopause symptoms? In this evidence-based review, I examine the research on Dong Quai for hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep disturbance, low libido and hormonal imbalance. Western clinical trials show limited efficacy when Dong Quai is used alone, particularly for vasomotor symptoms. However, Eastern studies using traditional herbal formulas containing Dong Quai demonstrate more promising results, including increases in oestradiol and reductions in FSH and LH levels.
