Dan Quai
Dong quai is a female tonic. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is a warming blood tonic. This means that it promotes the healthy production of red blood cells, and increases circulation. The result is easier blood flow to the uterus, and fewer painful spasms during the period.
In western medicine, period pain is understood to be caused by inflammatory compounds called prostaglandins. Conventional drugs for period pain block prostaglandin synthesis. This works for periods, but with long term use, they also damage ‘good’ prostaglandins, causing problems with the heart and the kidneys.
Dong quai is different. It regulates prostaglandins, but it does not block them completely, so it works for periods without causing side effects. Furthermore, because Dong quai is beneficial for ‘good’ and ‘bad’ prostaglandins, the herb can be used for more than just pain. Studies have shown that it benefits other prostaglandin-related conditions, such as allergies and inflammatory bowel disease.
Use Dong Quai if you need your bleeding to be easier, with smoother flow and less pain. The herb may even be effective as part of a treatment for endometriosis, which is an inflammatory condition causing painful periods. If you are prone to fatigue during your period, Dong quai will help. It is slightly oestrogenic and may promote fertility.
How to take: Dong quai is a popular ingredient in most “female” herbal mixes. To prevent menstrual cramps, it combines well with peony and cinnamon. This warming combination is best suited for “cold” period pain, which means pain that feels better with a hot water bottle. To work, it must be taken throughout the month, not just during the period itself.

Menstruation is the monthly vaginal discharge of blood and endometrial tissues that are shed from the lining of a woman’s uterus and is part of the menstrual cycle which prepares a woman’s body for pregnancy each month. The length of the cycle varies from woman to woman, and in some women it varies considerably from month to month and is regulated by the levels and interactions of certain hormones within this loop.

A pessary is a plastic product which fits in your vagina to aid and support your uterus (womb), vagina, bladder or rectum. The pessary is often times used for “prolapse” of the uterus. Prolapse means that your uterus droops or tends to “fall out” because it loses support after you give birth or have pelvic surgery.

There are many well known side effects of pregnancy and joint pain is just one of them, although perhaps less well known than morning sickness, swollen ankles and back pain. It is perhaps, reasonable to expect that there will be additional wear and tear on the joints because of the increase in weight and the redistribution of that weight due to pregnancy and joint pain is the inevitable result. The pelvis, hips, knees and ankles in particular are prone to becoming painful and hormonal changes can contribute to this as well.
