A centuries-old roots heals the modern woman’s body
Yinful blends ancestral wisdom and scientific evidence.
A 2022 review published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice examined clinical trials on ginseng and menopause. The verdict? Ginseng doesn’t just carry myth and folklore—it carries measurable results for women moving through midlife shifts.
«» The Study: What Researchers Found
The review gathered data from multiple human trials studying the effects of ginseng on women in menopause. Across the board, ginseng use led to:
- Fewer and less intense hot flashes
- Better sleep and mood regulation
- Improved quality of life (including fatigue, anxiety, and overall well-being)
- Emerging signals for libido and hormonal balance
Even more promising? These benefits came without major side effects, making ginseng a safe and supportive compliment to a healthy lifestyle—especially for those looking for natural, hormone-free options.

☯︎ Ginseng as a Traditional Chinese Medicine
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, ginseng is a Qi tonic—an herb that restores vital energy and supports the internal systems most depleted by age, stress, and emotional labor. For menopausal women, that means:
- Replenishing Yin and essence (Jing) that decline over time
- Regulating the nervous system, where heat, mood, and desire live
- Supporting the Liver and Heart meridians, which govern emotional and hormonal flow
The ginsenosides found in ginseng (its active compounds) also interact with estrogen receptors in the body, offering a plant-based source of gentle hormonal modulation—without being estrogenic.

𖣂 Why Yinful Uses American Ginseng
While the study didn’t differentiate between ginseng types, Yinful specifically uses mature American Ginseng, which is cooling, yin-nourishing, and ideal for women experiencing heat, dryness, and overstimulation.
In contrast to fiery adaptogens, this ginseng softens, restores, and invites receptivity back into the body—gently.
