Siberian Ginseng Powder

Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) powder made from the roots

What is Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus)?

When hearing the term Siberian Ginseng, most people think of true ginseng. However, the two medicinal plants are entirely different and not related botanically. As its name suggests, Siberian Ginseng is originally native to Siberia and Northeast China. This traditional medicinal plant belongs to the ivy family and is also commonly known as Eleuthero or Taiga Root. The green shrub can reach a height of up to 3 meters. From its umbel-like flowers develop bluish-black, berry-like fruits. As its Latin epithet “senticosus” reveals, Siberian Ginseng is “rich in thorns.”

For the production of our tablets, we combine tradition with modern processing. Following traditional herbal knowledge, we use only finely ground roots from premium cultivation. These are carefully milled and gently pressed into tablets. In this way, you receive all the valuable constituents of the root in a convenient form.

The secret of the “unknown ginseng”

In German-speaking countries, Siberian Ginseng is known, if at all, under the name “Taiga Root” (Taigawurzel) and is still considered something of a hidden gem. In its native regions of Siberia and China, however, it has long held a firm place in traditional folk medicine. There, Taiga Root has traditionally been used to support the body in resisting colds and to strengthen general wellbeing. As a so-called adaptogen, Siberian Ginseng is used whenever people seek to improve their resilience and cope better with physical and mental stress. Experienced therapists in Siberia also recommend the root to support the musculoskeletal system, normal kidney function, healthy blood sugar levels, and balanced blood pressure.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is also convinced of its benefits. In TCM, Eleuthero is associated with the functional systems of the heart, spleen, lungs, liver, and kidneys. According to Eastern philosophy, Taiga Root strengthens vital energy (Qi) within these organ systems in a unique way. Just as in Siberian folk medicine, Eleutherococcus senticosus is also used in TCM for persistent fatigue, exhaustion, and to support the immune system.
