 | | | | | | |  | | Ginseng, Siberian (Eleuthero) | | | | | | | | | | | | | Siberian ginseng is a rather confusing name, as the herb does not always come from Siberia. Found throughout eastern Russia, China, Korea and northern Japan, this medicinal herb is often now referred to by another name, Eleuthro. While used in TCM, it became popular in the middle of the 20th century when it began to be researched in the former Soviet Union. Like Asian ginseng, Siberian ginseng is frequently adulterated, most often with the herb Chinese silk vine.
Like Asian ginseng, Siberian ginseng is most often used as an adaptogenic herb in cases of stress or fatigue, or to increase endurance or performance at work and in sports. Also, there is a growing amount of research that Siberian ginseng may have anti-cancer properties, and may even protect against the harmful effects of radiation therapy used to treat some cancers. Unfortunately, the current scientific research is often of very poor quality preventing any definite conclusion from being reached. | | | | | | | |
