Will drinking American ginseng affect menstruation?

We know that girls need to pay attention to their diet during their menstrual period. Girls feel very uncomfortable during these days and need others' care. If your boyfriend has low emotional intelligence at this time, it may cause a lot of trouble. When facing their girlfriends’ troubles, many boys with low emotional intelligence always tell them to drink more water, or drink more brown sugar water during menstruation. Many girls sneer at this. So, what should you pay attention to in your diet during menstruation? Can I eat American ginseng?

1. Can I eat American ginseng during menstruation?

It's best not to eat it.

American ginseng is cold in nature, bitter and slightly sweet in taste, and can nourish lung yin, clear heat, and produce body fluids. However, if women take it during menstruation, they may experience coldness and lead to adverse reactions such as dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not take it during your menstrual period.

Many women will experience some uncomfortable symptoms a few days before their period, such as depression, anxiety, tension, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, fatigue, etc. It is generally believed that this is related to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body.

During menstruation, symptoms such as poor appetite, back pain, and fatigue may occur. At this time, it is advisable to choose foods and medicines that are beneficial to the skin and beauty and also beneficial to the menstrual flow. Recommended foods and medicines include: mutton, chicken, red dates, tofu skin, apples, coix seed, beef, milk, eggs, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, rehmannia, peach blossom, etc.

2. Precautions for eating American ginseng

1. Do not take it with coffee

Certain substances contained in coffee will destroy the substances contained in American ginseng after entering the body, which is not conducive to the body's absorption of nutrients, so it is recommended that you best not drink coffee.

2. Do not drink strong tea while taking American ginseng

Because tannic acid will destroy the active ingredients in American ginseng, and tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, it is best to drink tea 2 to 3 days after taking American ginseng. It is also best not to drink coffee, as coffee also has a certain impact on the effects of American ginseng.

3. American ginseng cannot be taken with radish

Because American ginseng replenishes Qi (warms and replenishes vital energy) and white radish releases Qi (cools, clears heat and detoxifies), these two foods are contradictory. Not only should they not be eaten from a nutritional point of view, but these two foods are also incompatible, which can easily cause allergic reactions or even poisoning.
