Educational Info:

Siberian ginseng has been used in traditional medicine as an adaptogen, performance enhancer, and immunostimulant for thousands of years. Although Eleutherococcus senticosus is not related to true ginseng (Panax ginseng), the name 'Siberian ginseng' became popular because the two plants share some similar properties. Eleuthero root comes from the Eleutherococcus senticosus shrub and is native to China, Japan, Korea, and Russia. Eleuthero has been used in traditional Eastern medicines for thousands of years as an adaptogen that helps the body adapt to stress. It also has other potential health benefits, including increasing energy, improving cognitive function, and preventing heart disease. Some studies have shown that eleuthero increases fat oxidation during exercise. Traditional Chinese medicine has historically used  Eleutherococcus as an adaptogen to support healthy brain function, reduce fatigue, and increase stamina, endurance, and resilience to environmental stresses.

In 1947, a Russian scientist first studied Eleuthero and introduced the concept of an adaptogen—a substance that could promote stamina and wellness without harmful side effects. Since then, Eleuthero Root has been considered one of the premier adaptogens. The root contains a mixture of components called eleutherosides, which give this herb health benefits. 

Suggested Use: Use one teaspoon of the cut and sifted dried botanical as a tea. Cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, according to your desire and taste. Roots may be steeped longer than flowers. Strain and enjoy hot or cold daily, with or without your preferred sweetener. Its small cut and sifted form makes it easy to use in teas and tinctures. Users find it best to take it in the morning to avoid disrupting the sleep cycle.

CAUTION: Consult a physician before use if you may be pregnant or nursing. If you may have blood sugar imbalances or are on medication for your blood sugar or pancreas, consult a physician before using, as eleuthero root may affect blood sugar levels.  May cause pounding heartbeat, high blood pressure or irregular heartbeat in people who may have heart disorders.
