Eleuthero (Eleutherococcus sinticosus), also known as Siberian Ginseng, is a profoundly supportive herb for bolstering against stress. It was even used by astronauts in the mid 20th C to help adapt to the stressors of space exploration.
Adaptogens like Eleuthero are also talented at helping rebuild and nourish the nervous system after periods of intense stress, trauma and hardship. It is commonly used by herbalists to help clients return back to a healthy baseline after experiencing deeply traumatic events in their lives.
It is commonly used to decrease stress and improve endurance while boosting immunity. Another study showed it's capability for improving cardiovascular endurance.
It was also reviewed to help improve social functioning, possibly due to helping improve conditions of social anxiety, while improving some conditions of mental health.
Its light taste, clear appearance and sharpness may offer a signature to its function. It may feel as though it supports clarity, heightened endurance and the ability to maneuver effectively through stress with clarity. It may be supportive for athletes as well prior to physical fitness.
