Introduction
Women with uterine fibroids may take Sanqi powder (Panax notoginseng powder), but low-dose Sanqi exerts a hemostatic effect, whereas high-dose Sanqi promotes blood circulation and resolves blood stasis. The dosage of Sanqi powder for treating uterine fibroids is difficult to standardize and must be administered under the guidance of a qualified traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner. Sanqi powder may offer some therapeutic benefit for small uterine fibroids, though treatment duration tends to be prolonged; however, its efficacy for larger uterine fibroids is uncertain.
Individuals with uterine fibroids may consume powdered notoginseng (Panax notoginseng), but low doses of notoginseng exert hemostatic effects, whereas higher doses are required to promote blood circulation and resolve stasis. The appropriate dosage of notoginseng powder for treating uterine fibroids is difficult to determine precisely and must be administered under the guidance of a qualified traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner.
Notoginseng powder may offer some therapeutic benefit for small uterine fibroids, though treatment duration tends to be prolonged; its efficacy for larger fibroids remains uncertain. Western medical treatment remains the primary recommended approach.
