To avoid side effects from ginseng, some experts suggest you shouldn't use it for more than 3 months—or sometimes just a few weeks—at a time. Given the lack of evidence about its safety, ginseng isn't recommended for children or if you are pregnant or lactating. Ginseng could interact with other medicines you take.

Abstract. Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng) is a safe, widely available alternative remedy that improves patients' ability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for intercourse, even in a population with severe erectile dysfunction.

Ginseng tea is considered to be safe for most people to drink every day in moderation. It is a natural root that has been used for its potential health benefits for 5,000 years. Consuming excess amounts may result in mild side effects that can impact sleep since ginseng can be considered a more stimulating herb.

The clinical safety of ginseng is well established. Ginseng is associated with cardioprotective, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anticoagulation properties (Hyun et al., 2022). Therefore, there is immense potential for the clinical use of ginseng in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
