origin of Eleutherococcus

Eleutherococcus is a medicinal plant often referred to as ‘Siberian ginseng’ or ‘Russian ginseng’. In fact, this plant shares something in common with ginseng: its adaptogenic power, i.e. its ability to support the body’s functions in the face of various stress factors. Athletes and students particularly appreciate the virtues of Eleutherococcus. Its root is traditionally used to stimulate the body’s immune system and combat temporary or prolonged bouts of fatigue.

Eleutherococcus has been used as a tonic for over 4,000 years throughout Asia and in Canada. It is cultivated in China, Korea, Japan and Siberia, where its roots are mainly used by the elderly and convalescents.
