Can I take red ginseng during my period?

It is best not to eat red ginseng during menstruation because it has the function of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which may cause increased menstrual flow, dizziness and weakness. Red ginseng is rich in nutrients and has the effect of nourishing qi and blood. Regular consumption of red ginseng can nourish qi and blood, promote blood circulation and improve the immunity of the body, which is more suitable for women with insufficient qi and blood or those with cold constitution.
