Can you drink Ephedra during your period? Will it have any effects?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Panax notoginseng has a contractile effect on vascular smooth muscle; it can improve mucosal inflammation and alleviate spasmodic pain. The aqueous extract promotes intestinal peristalsis and has a laxative effect, with little impact on menstruation. However, it should not be taken simultaneously with cold medicine.
