Siberian Ginseng

🌱 What it is

Siberian ginseng (eleuthero) is an adaptogenic herb, distinct from true ginseng, used to support stamina and stress resilience.

📜 Where it comes from

Siberian ginseng, or eleuthero, was studied extensively by Soviet researchers in the mid-twentieth century, who were drawn to its traditional use in the folk medicine of Siberia and the Russian Far East as a tonic for endurance and resistance to cold and stress. This research popularized the herb as an adaptogen, a term Soviet scientists helped coin, and it later spread into Western herbal use as an alternative to true ginseng.
