Siberian Ginseng, Eleutherococcus senticosus, Certified Organic Root Cut

Siberian Ginseng is an adrenal tonic, enhancing energy levels and the ability to adapt and preserve strength during times of stress or disease. The Commission E approved ginseng as a tonic for invigoration and fortification in times of fatigue and debility or declining capacity for work and concentration. Ginseng was also approved for use during convalescence.

Siberian ginseng has some oestrogenic effect, beneficial for women with symptoms of menopause.

Warnings: Ginseng should be avoided in the presence of high blood pressure (hypertension). The British Herbal Compendium contraindicates the use of ginseng with stimulants, including excessive use of caffeine (Bradley, 1992).
