10 Benefits of Ginseng
Ginseng Benefit #3: Increases Estrogen Levels in Women
Estrogen is the primary female hormone responsible for regulating the reproductive system. Endometriosis, fibroids, infertility, painful periods, and premenstrual tension are just some of the reproductive-system problems some women face in their lifetime.
