Eleuthero, or Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), originates from Eastern Russia, Northeastern China, Korea, and Japan. It has been used for thousands of years as an overall body tonic and adaptogen to strengthen Qi (energy). Although the plant’s common name is ginseng, it is not true Asian Ginseng. In an attempt to reduce confusion, many experts call Siberian Ginseng by a shortened version of its Latin name, Eleuthero. The two plants, Asian Ginseng and Siberian Ginseng, are botanical relatives with many similarities. However, it is widely agreed that Eleuthero is the more gentle healer and better tolerated by people of varying ages and physical constitutions.
