Herb of the Week 9/18/2011 – Eleuthero

Eleuthero, which was once known as Siberian Ginseng, is a traditional Chinese remedy that is similar to Panax Ginseng.  It is known as an adaptogen herb which restores vitality and energy balance, increases stamina, support memory function, and acts as a tonic to improve overall health. Research has also revealed that active compounds in Eleuthero work to ease PMS and menopausal symptoms, restore sexual energy, and nourish adrenal gland function. These actions are also beneficial to those under stress. Some prefer Eleuthero over Panax Ginseng because it is not as strong.

Common Uses:
Support energy balance; help body adapt to physical & mental stress; boost stamina & vitality; restore sexual energy; enhance athletic performance; improve mental performance; support hormone balance; occasional sleeplessness; immune system support.

Peace and Good Health!
