Uterine fibroid is the category of mass in the abdomen in Chinese medicine. Whether or not to take American ginseng in treating uterine fibroids depends on the specific type of symptoms. If there is a deficiency of qi and blood stasis, American ginseng can be combined with other medicines to treat the symptoms. Radix Panax Ginseng belongs to the category of tonic drugs, and it favors tonifying qi, which is clinically applicable to all kinds of symptoms caused by qi deficiency. To determine whether or not western ginseng can be used in the obstruction of the abdomen, the main judgement is whether or not it is a case of qi deficiency and blood stasis, i.e., whether or not the clinical manifestations include colorlessness, shortness of breath and laziness in speech, low voice, tiredness and lethargy, etc. If it is one of the above cases, it can be used to treat the obstruction. If it is one of the above symptoms, it can be treated with Radix Panax Ginseng combined with medicines to activate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, such as Mudanpi, Radix Paeoniae Alba and Peach Kernel. However, it is not recommended to use American ginseng if there is stagnation of qi and blood stasis, cold and blood stasis, or phlegm-dampness and stagnation. Chinese medicines should be used under the guidance of Chinese medicine practitioners, and should not be used privately to treat the disease, so as not to cause damage to the organism.
