Is it recommended for breastfeeding mom to drink American ginseng or pao sheng? And is it safe to dye your hair also? Thank you

Please avoid ginseng if you are breastfeeding, especially Panax ginseng which American ginseng is. It does not only decrease supply, it can also cause harm to the baby via nursing. In fact there have been reports of death and defects on unborn babies due to their mothers' ginseng intake. As for hair dyes, yes you can as long as you avoid the roots so the chemicals will not seep into your system. Instead of full hair colour, you can opt for highlights as these are usually done away from the roots. If you are still wary about the chemicals in normal hair dyes, opt for organic brands or henna.
