It helps to balance female hormones. The ground root is also available in capsules. I boil up a good handful of the sliced root along with 7 to 10 of what the Chinese herbal shop calls "dry date" shriveled reddish plum looking things) in a quart of water. That makes about 3 1/2 cups of tea, and I drink 1/2 cup a day for a week and bingo, no lubrication problems. The roots are too tough to eat, but the dates can be eaten after boiling. They help mitigate the bitterness of the Dong Quai root. Dong Quai, a root often sold in Chinese herbal shops, is very effective. It helps to balance female hormones.
