Siberian ginseng, also called eleuthero, or Eleutherococcus senticosus produces leaves and roots with a biting flavor and many well-known health benefits. With the ability to function as a cardiac tonic and antispasmodic agent, this herb benefits the heart, the nerves, the lungs, and the circulatory system.
Eleuthero is a relative of ginseng that is used for its general tonic properties and for its calming effects. It is used in conditions for which ginseng would be considered too stimulating.
Eleuthero is considered by the Chinese to be the best medicine for treating insomnia. It is also extensively used for bronchitis and chronic lung ailments.
In the treatment and prevention of heart disease, eleuthero is used to lower blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels. It has been used to treat arthritis, low blood oxygen, impotence and stress. It is a mild herb and must be used in large doses, about eight to thirty grams per day, depending upon the severity of the ailment. The leaves are stronger and are taken two to eight grams per day.
