widespread use in the Korea as an aid to good health. Recent report have pointed out the estrogen-like effect of
red ginseng on vaginal epithelium. The authors also indicated that red ginseng extract competed with estrogen binding
sites in human myometrial cytosol. Greenspan reported the case of a 72-year-old patient with vaginal bleeding
