Dr. Li Qing
Eating Ejiao cake generally does not benefit women with premature ovarian failure. First, premature ovarian failure leads to an irreversible condition that may not be treatable by any food or medication. Although certain foods might help alleviate symptoms, they cannot provide a cure. Moreover, the main effects of Ejiao are nourishing blood, enriching yin, moistening dryness, and stopping bleeding. It does not regulate endocrine function, contains no estrogen, and therefore cannot improve symptoms of premature ovarian failure.
