Summary
"Eleutherococcus senticosus (formerly Acanthopanax senticosis) is a species of small, woody shrub in the family Araliaceae native to Northeastern Asia...The herb is an adaptogen, is anticholesteremic, is mildly anti-inflammatory, is antioxidant, is a nervine and an immune tonic. It is useful when the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is depleted...Taken regularly, it enhances immune function, reduces cortisol levels and inflammatory response, and it promotes improved cognitive and physical performance."
