Women can take American ginseng to replenish qi, nourish yin, and produce fluids, but there is no effect specifically for women. American ginseng is the dried root of American ginseng of the plant family Wujiaceae. It is sweet, slightly bitter and cool in nature. It belongs to heart, lung and kidney meridians. It can replenish qi and nourish yin, clearing heat and generating fluids. It is used in treating deficiency of qi and yin, deficiency of heat and tiredness, coughing and wheezing, phlegm and blood, internal heat and thirst (internal heat accompanied by eating, drinking and urinating, etc.), dry mouth and pharynx. In addition, because American ginseng is cool in nature, it should be taken with caution for those who are suffering from deficiency of yang, obstruction of cold and dampness, and damp-heat and fire. It is important to note that American ginseng should not be used in conjunction with quassia. It is recommended to use the medicine under the guidance of a doctor.
