2. Ginseng boosts vitality, why is it forbidden to take it during confinement?
Ginseng tonifies qi and stops bleeding. During the hospitalization period just after giving birth, lochia is beginning to be discharged. If ginseng (Korean red ginseng) is taken, the blood halo will be reduced, and lochia will be difficult to discharge, resulting in blood clots stagnating in the uterus, causing abdominal pain, and in severe cases. There are cases where the placenta is not completely peeled off, causing massive bleeding. Therefore, it is necessary to wait until the second or third week after giving birth, and the blood clots are gone before taking ginseng tea.
