Powdered Eleutherococcus or Siberian Ginseng: What is it? Plant and Origins

Eleutherococcus, commonly known as Siberian Ginseng, is a plant from the Araliaceae family originating from North Asia, widely used in traditional Chinese medicine as an adaptogen, very similar to ginseng and also known as Siberian ginseng. At Terza Luna, we offer Chinese Eleutherococcus in powder form, derived from the roots.

The roots of eleutherococcus contain eleutherosides, vitamin E, beta-carotene, essential oils, and isofraxidin, making the plant a powerful adaptogen and tonic, capable of improving our body's tolerance and defenses against attacks from antigens, external agents that damage our body, and adapting it to seasonal changes, stressful situations, and other unfavorable environmental alterations for humans.

Eleutherococcus tincture is often mentioned to combat stress and fatigue and in case of other issues related to tiredness: at Terza Luna, we have chosen eleutherococcus in powder, to be added to preparations to enrich meals with a natural supplement.

Eleutherococcus: Benefits and Properties of the Natural Adaptogen

The properties of eleutherococcus are numerous, thanks to the presence of eleutherosides, the most active components that provide adaptogenic, antioxidant, tonic, and immune system stimulating properties. Like ginseng, eleutherococcus contains saponins, with important properties for smooth muscles. According to traditional Chinese medicine, eleutherococcus is able to help the function of the liver in separation and filtration work, is an anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and increases muscle mass.

Powdered Eleutherococcus: What is it used for?

Here are the most important properties of the eleutherococcus plant:

• Immune system stimulator: There are studies showing how this plant helps the liver in filtering toxins
• Anti-inflammatory: Inhibits COX-2, as many synthetic anti-inflammatories do, an enzyme involved in inflammatory activity
• Antiviral: It has been found to be active against influenza viruses, rhinovirus (HRV), and other types of respiratory viruses
• Increases physical resistance: aids in recovery after physical activity and enhances endurance during, stimulating mitochondrial activity.
• Antidepressant and anxiolytic: An animal study has shown how eleutherococcus could be useful in treating mood disorders, particularly depression. Another study reports its effectiveness for anxiety states: it is capable of influencing the functioning of the hippocampus, improving anxiety attacks.
• Antitumor: The plant extract has been found to be active in fighting metastases of various tumors (liver, breast) and in improving the body's recovery after chemotherapy treatments.

Differences between Ginseng and Eleutherococcus

Eleutherococcus is often associated with ginseng (panax ginseng), but they actually come from different plant families with different components. The combination of active ingredients in the two roots is very different, especially since in eleutherococcus the active ingredients are present in an equivalent manner and all contribute to its adaptogenic properties. Eleutherococcus is often referred to as the women's ginseng: it is indeed a more feminine adaptogen compared to ginseng, as it is less aggressive and strong, but more gentle, very suitable for providing relief in conditions of anxiety and depression. Eleutherococcus also improves memory and concentration, and is therefore an excellent alternative to ginseng for sports activities, study, and work. Another valid alternative for women due to its properties is Rhodiola root, with which you can prepare excellent herbal teas and infusions.

How to take eleutherococcus in powder form?

The daily dosage of eleutherococcus is one teaspoon per day. It can be taken in two fingers of warm water, or added to smoothies, smoothies, milk, or yogurt. It mixes very well with our Golden Milk or Kokoro Coffee, extremely beneficial thanks to the combination of eleutherococcus with guarana and cocoa. Taking it on an empty stomach facilitates its assimilation by the body, but it can also be taken on a full stomach.
