This is a herb that has become famous as an adaptogen. A herb that helps the body adapt to stress. Basically, adaptogens reduce the adrenaline and cortisol rush caused by stress and return them to baseline quicker, thus reducing the effects of these chemicals on our blood pressure, nerves etc. The adaptogens are great for day to day use in our modern stressful lives but they can also help people with long term illness. Siberian ginseng is particularly noted for its ability to aid mental function and concentration. A fantastic combination to counter stress is Korean ginseng, Ashwagandha, Liquorice and Siberian ginseng. Do not use Siberian ginseng if pregnant. It is safe for children.
