Hello, I understand your concern, but it is not entirely clear from your question whether you are referring to balance or to restoring your hormonal balance, si I am going to assume the latter. Dong quai is a commonly used natural remedy in dealing with menopausal symptoms. Although it has not been clinically proven to affect human hormones, benefits of dong quai, combined with other natural herbs like kelp (seaweed), camomile, milk thistle, ginseng and red clover are well documented to reduce hot flashes and night sweats and improve sleep. In addition to hormonal balance, dong quai is also beneficial in conditions such as heart disease, stroke, migraine, high blood pressure. HRT is best to be avoided, so taking natural remedies containing estrogen is the sensible thing to do. However, you have to be aware that taking herbal supplements is not without side effects. Make sure they are bought from a certified and reputable store and that you get the dosage is right. Wishing you good health and best of luck
