PRIMARY USES:
Fatigue, Burn Out, Stress, Frequent colds brought on by Stress
INDICATIONS:
Eleuthero is beneficial for those with a lot of stress that want to avoid burn out, fatigue, and immune breakdown. As an adaptogenic herb, it modulates how the body responds to stress by being a hormonal tonic to the stress axis (hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands). By helping the body's ability to adapt to stress, all body functions can perform at a higher level, endurance is increased, and the immune system is stimulated (T-lymphocytes count increases). Too much stress creates chemical changes in the body that creates a host of problems. Eleuthero wards this effect off. Eleuthero is specific for those who get sick when under a lot of stress. It is taken as a preventative method but is not effective when acute. Eleuthero is not true ginseng (Panax is not in its Latin name) but is in the same family of plants. It is the only non-heating ginseng, so it is indicated for those who have a negative effect from Chinese or American ginseng, but still want what ginseng can do for them. It is a great long-term tonic for those that simply want to avoid burn out.
