What is taiga root?
Taiga root is a deciduous shrub up to 7m high, which bears characteristic black berries. It is native to Russia, Japan, China as well as North Korea and is also known as Siberian ginseng. This name was given to it in English-speaking countries because it is used in a similar way to Korean ginseng. Only the roots of Eleutherococcus are used medicinally. They are dried, sometimes ground and prepared as tea. Extracts or tinctures are also produced and used therapeutically. Today, taiga root is available everywhere in our country. Until 1990, the USSR banned the export of taiga root, which significantly reduced the market.

Taiga root: effect for body and mind
Taiga root has appeared on the stage of phytotherapeutics only for a few decades. In the 1960s, research in the Soviet Union began to take a closer look at taiga root. However, what has been found so far is remarkable and it is impossible to imagine modern practice without it. Especially as an adaptogen, it is an important helper in today's high-performance society, and its anti-cancer effects may prove to be even more valuable in the future, considering the ever-increasing numbers in this field. Taiga root makes the body and mind more resistant, gives more strength and makes external influences seem less strong. Its performance-enhancing and anti-fatigue effects have been confirmed in several studies and also made it a banned doping agent in sports. Today Eleutherococcus is consulted and successfully used in naturopathic practice for all manifestations of stress disease, cancer or immune issues.

Fields of application in naturopathy
Taiga root as an adaptogen has its applications mainly in immune issues and stress-induced symptoms. It is primarily used for this purpose.
Taiga root in stressful situations
Taiga root has been proven to lower the effect of existing stress on the body. Stress hormone levels decrease and the body regenerates. At the same time, taiga root also increases the sensitivity to stress. This means that the resistance to stress is strengthened and the person has more silent reserves, both physically and mentally.
Taiga root for lack of concentration
When there is no more energy and the exhaustion is too great, you can no longer concentrate. Taiga root promotes regeneration and restores strength so that you can concentrate and work mentally again.
Taiga root for sleep problems
In tense phases, you can no longer get any rest. The permanent overstimulation and the circling of thoughts rob sleep. A vicious circle of fatigue and lack of sleep begins. However, since Taiga Root gets to the root of the effects of stress, effects such as sleep disturbances recede and the person can recover during the night. It makes up ground and recharges the batteries.
Taiga root for immunodeficiency
The ingredients of taiga root have been shown in several studies to measurably increase the amount of immune cells. In addition, taiga root intervenes on the stress cycle and reduces the amount of immunosuppressive endogenous cortisol, which is a stress hormone. A decrease in cortisol causes the immune system to be able to do its job again.
Taiga root is also used in naturopathy to treat cancer. On the one hand, the effect of taiga root is anti-cancer, but on the other hand, it supports the exhausted body and gives it strength. During chemotherapy it has been shown that the tolerance could be significantly increased and the side effects could be reduced, if taiga root was used in parallel.Â
Taiga root for exhaustion
General exhaustion is physically always the result of stress. No matter what the actual cause was. As an adaptogenic plant, taiga root is therefore always worth a try in case of exhaustion. It restores strength to the body and helps it to recover optimally.
Taiga root in convalescence
Convalescence is also about strength and energy. Long, draining illnesses debilitate the body and literally suck the cells dry. Convalescence can be drastically shortened with taiga root. It is not a matter of going back to work immediately. After a long, serious illness, one should be glad to get back on one's feet faster and participate in life again.
Instructions for the use of taiga root
Taiga root is a component of mixed preparations, but is also often administered as a phytotherapeutic and monopreparation. Tablets and drops are common. Eleutherococcus should be taken three times a day for several weeks. After about 8 weeks, however, it should be paused. A curative application is useful.
Taiga root during pregnancy & breastfeeding
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not take taiga root due to lack of experience.
Taiga root for hypertension
In case of high blood pressure, taiga root should be taken only if the blood pressure is checked regularly. In case of an increase in blood pressure, Taiga root should be discontinued immediately.
Taiga root for anticoagulants
Patients taking anticoagulant medications should consult their physician, pharmacist or alternative practitioner before taking the product. In general, when taking taiga root in anticoagulant patients, the INR/Quick value should be checked regularly.
