A member asked:
Is ginseng safe for pregnant women or nursing mothers
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are many types of ginseng -- asian, chinese, siberian, american, etc. But a few types of asian/eastern ginseng have been shown to cause birth defects in animal pregnancies. So...Very high risk for very low reward.
