Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

San-Qi Ginseng (Panax notoginseng), also known as Notoginseng or Tianqi, is primarily used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for its supposed abilities to invigorate blood, stop bleeding, and reduce swelling. Its use for menopause is based more on traditional applications than on modern scientific validation. In TCM, menopause is viewed as a condition involving imbalances in yin and yang, blood, and qi. While Panax ginseng (another species) has some research supporting its use for menopausal symptoms, San-Qi Ginseng is not as commonly featured in scientific or clinical studies for menopause specifically. Traditional texts sometimes recommend notoginseng formulations to help with symptoms such as fatigue and mild mood disturbances, which can overlap with menopause symptoms, but these are indirect and not menopause-specific. There is a lack of robust clinical trials or modern pharmacological evidence supporting its direct effectiveness for menopause, and most references cite broader benefits rather than targeted menopausal symptom relief. Therefore, its use in menopause is justified primarily by tradition, with low supporting evidence.
