#1: Suppress endometriosis

Experiencing pain during sex, urination, bowel movements, and out of nowhere? Menstrual cramps that cause sharp, stabbing aches in the abdomen and lower back. Sound familiar? Then you might have endometriosis, a chronic condition — characterized by the growth of uterine tissue outside of the uterus — that affects 10% of people who menstruate.

While there’s still no proven cure for this disorder, emerging research offers hope for those struggling. Recent studies have found that the following compounds found in both American and Asian ginseng may help suppress the abnormal growth of uterine lining, in turn, potentially offering some much-needed pain relief for individuals with endometriosis:

• Protopanaxadiol (PPD)
• Protopanaxatriol (PPT)
• Ginsenoside-Rg3 (G-Rg3)
• Ginsenoside-Rh2 (G-Rh2)

#2: Encourage healthy egg development

To increase the chances of having a healthy baby, you need two things: a healthy egg and a healthy sperm. But how can you ensure that your eggs are healthy? Of course, there are no guarantees, but numerous animal studies suggest North American ginseng could help shield your ovarian follicles from oxidative damage. For the uninitiated, ovarian follicles are fluid-filled sacs in the ovary that contain an immature egg each.

In a normal menstrual cycle, one follicle will grow, swelling until it bursts open to eject the mature, ready-to-be-fertilized egg. Bottom line? By promoting ovarian follicular health, ginseng increases the odds of you releasing a healthy egg during ovulation (and, in turn, a healthy baby during conception).

#3: Enhance sexual function

Speaking of making a baby … in most cases, you cannot do so naturally without some in-between-the-sheets action. But sometimes, getting in the mood can be challenging. Especially if you’ve been “baby-dancing” to no avail for some time now (it can be physically and mentally tiring).

Good news: ginseng’s benefits for female sexual arousal and function is well-recognized. Take this 2006 study published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, for instance. The researchers recruited 108 women of differing menopausal status and randomly assigned them to two groups: one group received a ginseng supplement, while the other received a placebo.

After four weeks, the researchers found that all women — irrespective of menopausal status — who received the ginseng supplement reported significant improvement in:

• Frequency of sexual desire
• Frequency of intercourse
• Satisfaction with sexual relationship

… compared to those in the placebo group. More recent studies (e.g., this 2019 study published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine and this 2020 study published in Women & Health) also support ginseng’s benefits for female sexual arousal and function.

#4: Improve menopausal symptoms

Come a certain age, and you’ll run into the universally dreaded ‘M’ word: menopause. According to research, 75% of individuals in menopause will experience vasomotor symptoms, such as migraines, hot flashes, and night sweats, 60% will have changes in their libido or vagina (e.g., vaginal dryness), and 45% may have mood issues like depression, anxiety, or trouble sleeping. Yep. It looks like the statistics are stacked against you.

But thankfully, with ginseng by your side, you may have less to fear. A 2022 systematic review of 15 randomized controlled trials published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice concluded that ginseng could significantly reduce hot flashes, menopausal symptoms (from insomnia to vaginal dryness to emotional disturbances), and quality of life in menopausal women.
