Can you use astragalus and ginseng in soup during menstruation?

Menstruating women can take astragalus and ginseng soup if they have a deficiency of qi, but it is not recommended to take them. Astragalus and Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng are both tonic herbs, and both have good effect of tonifying qi. When used together, they can increase the effect of tonifying qi, so if menstruating women have symptoms such as fatigue (mental exhaustion, physical weakness), shortness of breath, and spontaneous sweating (involuntary sweating during the daytime, aggravated by sweating when they move a little bit) and fear of coldness, they can use Astragalus and Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng to make soups at this time. However, it should be noted that if menstruating women have symptoms of yin deficiency such as hot flashes and night sweats (sweating abnormally after going to sleep and stopping after waking up), or symptoms of blood stasis such as stabbing pain in the abdomen and blood clots during menstruation, it is not recommended to use Astragalus and Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng in soup, as it may aggravate the original symptoms. Menstruating women should consult a professional Chinese medicine practitioner before using Chinese medicines, and it is not recommended to use medicines arbitrarily, otherwise it will not only not be beneficial to health, but may aggravate the condition.
