Eleuthero is a spiny shrub of the Siberian taiga and Korean hills, long sold as Siberian ginseng though it is not a ginseng at all.
Origin & Traditional Use
Eleutherococcus senticosus is a thorny shrub native to the Russian Far East, Korea, northern China and Japan, sometimes called devil’s bush for its prickles. It belongs to the same plant family as ginseng, the Araliaceae, but it is not true Panax ginseng. Its root has a long history in Chinese herbalism, where it is called ci wu jia, and Soviet researchers studied it intensively in the mid-20th century.
