A member asked:

Is it safe to take ginseng if you have endometriosis?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Maybe: If you are diabetic it may raise your blood sugar. Why do you want to take ginseng? It's an unregulated herbal. For what ever reason you want to take ginseng as your doctor for advice to treat the condition with an FDA approved medication that maybe safer.
