Patient's question:
I currently have uterine fibroids, so I would like to consult with a doctor. Can I eat Codonopsis pilosula with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a disease caused by the stagnation of qi and blood, as well as the dysfunction of internal organs. Therefore, it is necessary to consume a diet rich in light and cooling foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables can be eaten, while spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. While ginseng has a very strong warming property and is highly effective for nourishment, it is not very suitable for patients with uterine fibroids. If ginseng is used, it may accelerate the growth of uterine fibroids, so it is not recommended.
