Claudia;
While I was studying for my exam last year.. this web site was made aware to
me...
www.uspharmacits.com/NewLook/DisplayArticle.cfm?item_num=581

According the information Dong Quai is a stimulant.  ..."regulation of the
menstral cycle....stimulate the central nervous system....sensiteze the skin
to light....this herb should ve avoided during breastfeeding...."

I would be interested in what effects this mother is trying to achieve while
taking this herb.  Could she possibly take another?

I hope this information is useful.
