Eleutherococcus, or Ci wu jia, is a shrub native to the Far East that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 4000 years for its fortifying properties. And for good reason : nicknamed “Siberian ginseng”, its root is known to contribute to increasing intellectual and physical energy.
Eleutherococcus is a tonic that contributes to adaptogenic activity. In other words, it increases the body's ability to adapt to attacks and stresses. Its root supports natural defences, and contributes to optimal intellectual and cognitive activity. Thus, the Eleutherococcus is a valuable ally to fight slack and to regain Olympic form.
