Eleuthero, also known as Siberian Ginseng, has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years. The Chinese refer to it as a builder of Qi (pronounced “chi”), a term describing the body’s vital energy. In Malaysia and Indonesia, Eleuthero and its many close relatives are called jamu. In Ayurveda, they are known as rasayanas – rejuvenating plants.
Eleuthero is an adaptogen(Natural Adaptogen). Adaptogens are herbs that can help keep the body in balance, enhancing the body’s resilience to stresses. This balancing of the body allows us to realize many amazing benefits.
One could see improvements in stamina, energy, cognitive function, blood pressure, lymphatic function, immune support, dealing with infections, and in handling stress. Eleuthero nourishes the adrenal glands. When the adrenal glands are functioning well, hormones are optimized and balanced, affecting mood, energy and general wellbeing.
It is hard to believe so many benefits can come from a single herb. Because of this, Lifestyles includes a generous amount of Eleuthero in our Intra formula. It works together with other adaptogenic herbs in the formula such as schisandra, astragalus and turmeric to help the body truly find balance and to positively affect all 8 body systems.
You can find the eleuthero supplements in capsules, tablet, tincture, solid extract, or powder form online or at your local health food store. You can also purchase eleuthero tea bags or make tea by combining the dried root with hot water. It’s very important to buy eleuthero products from a reputable sources because quality is known to vary significantly.
