Is red ginseng for increasing or decreasing milk production?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
I've been eating red ginseng for two days, and my milk production has noticeably decreased. Usually, my milk supply is okay. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Ginseng has the effect of inhibiting milk production and is a weaning food. Pregnant women during lactation should consume ginseng with caution. The saponin components in the stems and leaves of ginseng are basically the same as those in the roots. The total saponin content of ginseng (root hairs), ginseng (sprouts), ginseng (leaves), ginseng (flowers), and ginseng (fruits) is higher than that of the roots, making them worth further utilization to extend the breastfeeding interval: Gradually extend the interval between each baby's feeding, allowing the baby to adapt slowly, and enabling the breasts to adjust, gradually reducing milk production. This is very helpful for weaning.
