Dong Quai root will help to regulate cycle whether too yin or too yang. It is OK to use. Drink no more than 6 cups (not classes) of liquid per day.
I hope this helps.

Roy,
I wonder about the other traditional methods of oriental healing.
Naboru Muramoto says in his "Healing Ourselves" (ISBN 0380009005):
"Menstruation problems are a form of blood disease, usually blood stagnation. In the past when life and diet were more natural, a woman's menstrual cycle was always in harmony with the phases of the moon..."
...For excessive menstration, eat less and eat 5 raw aduki beans once a day...Black bean juice is also effective."
"For prolonged menustration, try eating five raw aduki beans, being careful to chew them well. This is often effective in terminating the bleeding."
"Blackbean juice taken over a long period of time (two or three months) helps regulate inconsistant menstruatio. Take 1/2 cup 3 times a day"
Recipe is 5 cups of water to one cup of black beans and boil for one hour (no salt). Then strain and take one half-cup of black bean juice at least a half hour before meals.
Michio Kushi with Marc Van Cauwenberghe, M.D., in "Macrobiotic Home Remedies" (ISBN 0870405543) says:
"If a woman has menstrual irregularity, pain, cramps, etc., she may eat a small amount of azuki beans every day".
"Take 5-10 grams of raw sesame seeds, chew them well, in case of menstrual irregularities"
"Yin people can take this (MU #16) tea everyday for 1-2 weeks when suffering from troubles of the reproductive organs, such as menstrual cramps or irregular menstruation."
Preparation and use of MU Tea for sick people:
"Boil the content of one teabag in 3 cups of water for 30 minutes (boil for the first five minutes, then simmer for 25 minutes) Boil until only 1 1/2 cups of tea left. That is the serving of one person per day. This tea may be reheated."
Are those remedies also useful or effective for helping to stop menstual irregularity?
Thank you, very much.
