Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), also known as eleuthero, is a woody shrub native to Northeastern Asia, including Russia, China, Japan, and Korea. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine as an adaptogen to enhance the body’s resilience to stress, boost energy levels, and improve overall vitality.
Unlike true ginseng (Panax species), Siberian ginseng contains eleutherosides, which contribute to its adaptogenic properties. In the 20th century, Soviet researchers studied Siberian ginseng extensively and found it to enhance physical performance and endurance.
Today, it is used worldwide in herbal medicine to support immune function, increase energy, and promote overall well-being.
