Scientific Name: Eleutherococcus senticosus
Siberian Ginseng has a long history of traditional use dating back more than two thousand years. In Chinese medicine, it is valued as a bittersweet, "warming herb." The roots and root bark are used in decoctions, powders, teas and tinctures.
Despite its name, it is completely different from American (Panax quinquefolius) and Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng), and has different active chemical components. The active ingredients in Siberian ginseng, called eleutherosides, may stimulate the immune system.
This single herb traditionally has been used in various tonics and beverages for its adaptogenic (normalizing) effects, especially to benefit the bones and joints.* Other adaptogenic effects include increasing resistance to environmental stress, such as exposure to high temperatures and conditions that cause motion sickness.* It has long been used to increase stamina, improve athletic performance and relieve occasional sleeplessness.* It is also known to support the body's overall immune system.*
