Panax ginseng and Salvia miltiorrhiza (Chinese or red sage) increase ovarian weight. These herbs should be useful against hot flashes, and to improve ovarian health. It is undocumented if other herbs within the genus of Panax, Salvia or Schizandra have these beneficial properties. Any herb should be tried in the smallest amounts. If anything doesn't work, stop taking it, even if it has worked in the past.

- Schizandra chinensis exhibits phytoestrogenic effects by regulating the activation of estrogen receptor-α and -β.
- Ameliorative effects of Schizandra chinensis on osteoporosis via activation of estrogen receptor (ER)-α/-β.
- Salvia miltiorrhiza bunge increases estrogen level without side effects on reproductive tissues in immature/ovariectomized mice.
Thank you for your update. I started using it yesterday. I am happy so far.
Also, just started luteal phase. Having some tenderness in breasts. Took a little vitex. Was that a good idea or should I do something else?
Also, I do a 10 minute breast massage at night and sometimes I use almond oil. Should I just stick with the coconut oil or use something else?
As always thank you for your wisdom and help.
Coconut oil is fine. Olive oil is good too.
Use vitex less than once a day for signs of high prolactin. If you got temporary swelling from it, then it was the right decision.
