[Guest guest]

Siberian Ginseng is a herb with the botanical name of Eleutherococcus senticosus. It is also known as Devil's Shrub, Shigoka and Touch-me-not.AboutThe herb is native to China, Korea, Japan and eastern Russia and has a long reputed use in traditional Chinese medicine. The roots are collected in autumn, dried and used in herbal medicine. The roots of the Siberian Ginseng herb contain saponins and eleutherosides (quite different from the steroidal saponins, 'ginsenosides' found in Panax Ginseng). InteractionsHerbal supplements can alter the effects of certain drugs, including prescription medications. . - The drug digoxin (used to treat heart failure) should not be taken with Siberian Ginseng. Siberian Ginseng may affect the laboratory tests that measure the digoxin levels in a person's blood. These tests are very important for calculating the correct dosage of Digoxin that a patient requires.- Siberian Ginseng may

interfere with the breakdown of barbiturate drugs in the body. These drugs may sometimes be prescribed for insomnia but are most commonly used to produce sedation in surgical procedures.- Siberian Ginseng may decrease blood clot formation and should be avoided by people taking anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin. Medical useSiberian Ginseng is considered to be an adaptogenic herb. This is a description given to a herb which increases the body's resistance to various stresses, e.g., heat, cold, infection, exercise, blood loss, immobilisation and trauma. Siberian Ginseng is reputed to have a normalising effect, bringing the body back into balance. The herb stimulates the immune system and shortens recovery time from illnesses. A recent scientifically controlled study involving healthy volunteers showed a marked increase in the T-lymphocyte (immune cells) cell count in those given a daily dose of Siberian Ginseng. One of

the most common traditional uses for Siberian Ginseng is as a treatment to improve stamina and performance, increasing mental and physical performance. This action may be due to the effect Siberian Ginseng has on the adrenal glands helping the body to produce the hormones, adrenaline and noradrenaline which provide energy and help the body to withstand prolonged stress. This property may be of particular benefit to athletes wishing to improve endurance and concentration without using prohibited drugs. A mild anabolic (muscle building) effect may aid the development of strength and fitness during training.Siberian Ginseng may help to protect the body from the debilitating effects of radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. Siberian Ginseng given to mice in one recent control study, showed that the herb enhanced the body's ability to adapt and repair itself after chemotherapy. The survival rate of the mice was increased when given Siberian Ginseng prior to

chemotherapy.Siberian Ginseng improves well-being and lung capacity in people with chronic (long-term) bronchitis and regulates blood pressure where blood pressure is high or low. It is indicated in cases of mild health disturbances including exhaustion, irritability, insomnia and mild depression.PropertiesAdaptogenic (improves the body's ability to resist various stresses), immune stimulant.
