Can I eat red ginseng during my menstrual period?

You can eat red ginseng in moderation during your menstrual period, but whether it is suitable depends on your personal constitution.

Red ginseng is a warming ingredient that helps improve immunity and relieve fatigue, and may be beneficial for women with weak qi or cold body. However, due to the warm nature of red ginseng, eating it may aggravate symptoms for people who are too hot during menstruation or have heavy menstrual flow. At the same time, people who are not used to eating red ginseng or are sensitive to its ingredients need to be particularly careful.

If you have symptoms such as fatigue and weakness during menstruation, you can try adding a small amount of red ginseng to boiled water or stewed soup, avoid eating on an empty stomach, and observe your own reaction. However, if you experience hot hands and feet, dry mouth or increased menstrual blood flow, you should stop using it immediately.

For women whose physical condition is unknown or who cannot judge whether it is suitable or not, they can choose to eat regularly and ensure balanced nutrition. If they feel uncomfortable during their menstrual period, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor.
