Eleuthero root is an adaptogenic herb that supports energy and helps maintain balance in the body.
Adaptogenic herbs enable the body to "adapt" to stressful situations and help buffer the effects of environmental stress, including physical and emotional stress, not just the stressors of daily life.
As an adaptogen, eleuthero acts as a tonic at the cellular level and offers beneficial support for the nervous system.
Eleuthero is commonly used to support energy, stamina and endurance, and may help with concentration.
A distant relative of Korean and American ginsengs, eleuthero is found in the Siberian province of Russia. Although not a true ginseng, eleuthero is still sometimes referred to as "Siberian ginseng".
Eleuthero is also native to northern China, Korea and Japan.
In traditional Russian medicine, eleuthero is used to stimulate the immune system and increase energy, reduce fatigue, and enhance exercise performance.
Eleuthero is also held in high esteem in China, where it has been valued for thousands of years, sometimes commanding a higher price than gold!
Chinese practitioners were using eleuthero more than 2,000 years ago for respiratory and immune support, concentration, memory, and to nourish the spleen and kidneys, build energy, and promote longevity.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), eleuthero is also considered an adrenal tonic and is used to enhance "chi" or "qi", the body's vital energy.
The active ingredients in eleuthero, called eleutherosides, have been shown to stimulate immune and lymphatic functions and provide support for healthy blood sugar metabolism.
Today, eleuthero is used world-wide to reduce physical fatigue, enhance exercise endurance and cardiovascular function, improve memory, and boost immunity.
Eleuthero may also help support a healthy inflammatory response.
