My tcm dr and gyane both informed not to take ginseng, American ginseng for now. So best to avoid. Bird nest is ‘cooling’ in tcm perspective and best to only take from 3rd trimester onwards. U can check with ur tcm dr if u have one.
My mum bought me some bottled bird nest also and I realized there’s ginseng so I told her.. if it’s just tiny bits should be ok but maybe can just avoid from now onwards :)
According to TCM ginseng cannot be taken during pregnancy. I think if you have been eating in small amounts should be alright.
How about yang shen? Or dang shen? Or all these also cannot be taken?
