Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Panax pseudoginseng, also known as "San Qi" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has a long history of use in East Asia for various health conditions, particularly those related to blood circulation and bleeding disorders. In the context of amenorrhea (the absence of menstruation), Panax pseudoginseng is traditionally employed as a remedy to "invigorate blood" and "remove blood stasis," which are TCM concepts believed to address the underlying causes of missed or irregular periods. Historical medical texts and current TCM practice indicate that it is often included in herbal formulas designed to promote menstrual flow, especially when amenorrhea is thought to result from blood stasis.

However, scientific evidence supporting the use of Panax pseudoginseng specifically for amenorrhea is limited. While some laboratory studies have explored the herb's effects on blood flow and its anti-inflammatory properties, there are no robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly demonstrating its efficacy in treating amenorrhea in modern biomedical terms. Instead, its use is primarily justified by traditional practice and anecdotal reports rather than high-quality scientific validation. Thus, the evidence for its use in amenorrhea is mostly traditional, with a modest rating due to its longstanding historical application but lack of direct modern research.
