Does anyone know the chemical composition of the Chinese herb Tang Kuei
(pronounced deng-kwah)? It's used to relieve menstrual cramps and does so
very effectively without the dopeyness or the other side effects of pain
killers or muscle relaxants. Since most drugs are derived from herbs,
one can't say that herbs don't contain drugs, so I'd like to know what drugs
this herb contains and what they do.
