This Herb Pharm supplement contains a single active ingredient, which is Dong Quai. This natural herb is also known as Angelica, Tang Kuei and Tang Kwei. Traditionally, this herb has been used medicinally for hundreds of years, and is native to China.

As mentioned, this herb is most often used to address menstrual complaints. Studies indicate that this herb may successfully aid with such issues as menstrual pain, scanty menstruation, PMS, cramping and irregular cycles.

However, when it comes to the issue of varicose veins, the benefits this ingredient may provide are not documented, and currently based on hype and rumor alone. In fact, in regard to this specific issue, there is little written about this herb, but there is a general, vague notion that it may be of some use. Unfortunately, this may not be enough for many people who are likely to prefer to use a product that contains an ingredient that is shown to reduce varicose veins, or at least alleviate some of its painful symptoms.

Fortunately, there are other options available to people who would prefer a more direct approach when dealing with the issue of varicose veins. Diosmin 95® is also said to be beneficial to those with varicose veins, but the difference between Dong Quai and this herb is that it has been shown in several clinical studies to quickly diminish both varicose and spider veins. Furthermore, it is now patented to ensure both quality and effectiveness.

The manufacturer recommends people take this supplement two to three times daily for best results. It’s suggested to mix around 20 of the oral drops with a glass of water. We find products that require just once-a-day doses to be the most convenient. Oftentimes, it’s the second, third or fourth doses that people forget to take during the day, and if a product is not taken as directed by the manufacturer, full benefits may go unrealized.

Ultimately, Herb Pharm Dong Quai may be attractive to women who suffer from various menstrual problems. As mentioned, the main ingredient is traditionally used for such a purpose, and may alleviate symptoms. Those interested in Herb Pharm Dong Quai may be pleased to know that various online stores are now offering it at reduced prices. At the time of this review, a one ounce bottle may be found for as little as $8.

However, when it comes to varicose veins, this herb may be less valuable. In fact, its purported benefits in this regard are rather vague and unsubstantiated, and we think individuals may do much better with a product that contains an ingredient that has been patented and proven to reduce varicose veins.
