Ginseng powder, Siberian (Eleutherococcus)

Siberian ginseng earned its name from its family, not its genus: it is a cousin of ginseng, not a ginseng itself.

Origin & Traditional Use

This is the same plant as our Eleuthero powder: Eleutherococcus senticosus, a thorny shrub of the Russian Far East, Korea, northern China and Japan. It shares the Araliaceae family with ginseng but is not true Panax ginseng. The root is used in Chinese herbalism as ci wu jia and became widely known in the West through Soviet research of the 1950s and 1960s.
