Many women have reported positive results with ginseng use, but like all other phytoestrogenic herbs, ginseng may trigger several uncomfortable side effects and health risks, including headache, shakiness, heart palpitations, and even an increased risk for cancer. Keep reading to learn more about the risks and side effects associated with ginseng.

One of the main problems with ginseng consumption is the lack of quality control over the product. Several ginseng products actually have very low levels of the active component in ginseng, and may even be contaminated with pesticide residuals or other compounds that can trigger unpleasant side effects.
The consumption of ginseng itself is associated with the following side effects:
Jitters, shakiness
Headache
Worsens fever
Upset stomach
Postmenopausal bleeding
Breast tenderness
Menstrual irregularities
Increased blood pressure, racing heart beat
Like other phytoestrogenic herbs, ginseng may increase the risk for breast cancer.

therapy (HRT). However, the herb is associated with several uncomfortable side effects and potential health risks, and studies have not confirmed safety for long-term use. Doctors recommend that ginseng be used for a maximum of three months or less to avoid health complications.
Due to the health risks associated with ginseng, women seeking treatment options for managing the symptoms of menopause should turn to equally effective, but safe and gentle alternatives, like non-estrogenic herbs. Non-estrogenic herbs are just as effective for treating the symptoms of menopause. However, because they stimulate the body's own hormonal production as opposed to introducing external hormones into the body, they are without the side effects and health risks associated with ginseng and other phytoestrogenic herbs.

Treating Hormonal Imbalance with MacaActive |
|
Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone play an essential role in several areas of the body, and as hormonal levels decline with age, the health implications can be significant. As women begin to notice the symptoms of hormone deficiency, they may want to consider taking steps to stabilize their hormonal production.
Today, there are three effective ways to normalize hormonal levels: lifestyle changes, alternative medicine and drugs & surgery.
|
|
 |
Lifestyle Changes: Lifestyle changes (such as an improved diet and increased exercise) are vital for overall health and for alleviating the symptoms of hormonal balance, but lifestyle changes alone will not have a significant impact on hormonal production. Most women will want to consider the next level of treatment, alternative medicine, which has proven to be excellent for treating hormonal imbalance in a safe and natural way.
|
|
 |
Alternative medicine: There are two types of herbal supplements for improving low hormone levels: those containing phytoestrogenic herbs, and those containing non-estrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogenic herbs (like Black Cohosh) are filled with phytoestrogens, which are similar to estrogens. They can increase low estrogen levels by replacing some of the missing estrogen hormones. This isn't the best solution, however, because your body will become less responsive to producing estrogen on its own, causing a further decrease in body-own hormone levels. Unlike phytoestrogenic herbs, non-estrogenic herbs don't contain estrogen, but nourish the hormonal glands to work more efficiently. This ultimately results in balancing not only estrogen, but other necessary hormones, as well. Using non-estrogenic herbs is one of the safest and best ways to treat hormonal imbalance naturally.
An excellent example of a safe and effective non-estrogenic herb for hormonal deficiency is herbal MacaActive. What makes MacaActive so special is its ability to balance hormonal levels in women by nourishing the hormonal glands. In this way, it alleviates most disorders related to hormonal imbalance.  to read more about MacaActive.

Drugs and Surgery: This level of treatment has the highest risk and often the highest cost. The most common drug therapy for treating hot flashes in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different types of cancer in women. If you still want to consider this approach, see your doctor to learn more about what this treatment option involves.
