But sadly, it’s just one of the many scientifically and time-proven stress remedies that so-called “experts” will swear you don’t need. To be strictly fair, though, those “experts” may have a point. But only if you get a regular eight hours unbroken sleep a night, eat a well balanced diet supplying every nutrient your body needs each day and consume alcohol only in strict moderation and tobacco not at all.

If you’re a typical twenty-first century animal, however, you more likely eat on the run – a snatched breakfast or none at all, lunch on a sandwich at your desk; and in the evening “enjoy” a highly processed, nutrition-stripped ready meal for dinner, giving thanks that you can always disguise the taste with the drink (or two) that by now you urgently need to help you relax.

It may be years before this way of life produces any treatable physical symptoms you can point to. But your energy levels are low, your muscle tone is poor, and you struggle to fight off even the most trivial colds and infections. The condition is so common that your physician probably uses the shorthand, “TATT”, to describe it. But don’t ask for the scientific meaning of this – it simply stands for “tired all the time”, and doesn’t respond well to prescription medications.

You see, conventional western medicine is primarily geared to producing a specific “magic bullet” treatment for each specific ailment with which it is presented. But it’s much less good at providing what you need to prevent you from becoming ill in the first place – that’s to say a powerful tonic and stimulant which will not only protect you against disease, but optimise every aspect of your physical and mental performance.

Fortunately, such substances are found in nature and are known as adaptogens, a term coined in Russia in 1947 specifically to describe compounds found to increase the body’s resistance and help normalise its functions in response to all kinds of stress. One in particular, eleutherococcus senticosus (eleuthero), has been the subject of exhaustive scientific enquiry, and

siberian eleuthero extract was approved for human use way back in 1962

But the power of this remarkable plant (an unprepossessing spiny shrub growing to a maximum of nine feet tall) has been known in China for at least 2,000 years. And it’s still widely used there as a general tonic and stimulant for improved vigor and general health, increasing resistance to disease and longevity in keeping with the general emphasis of Chinese medicine on prevention rather than cure, while promoting the harmony of the body’s own systems as the best means of ensuring continued optimal health.

In brief, research has shown a significant improvement in individuals’ adaptogenic response to all kinds of stresses; including heat, cold excessive noise and vibration, physical exhaustion, viruses and bacteria, and chemicals and pollution. In fact, so many and diverse have been the positive effects that eleuthero can be legitimately claimed to improve adaptation to the very stresses of life itself.

For an illustration of this power, it’s only necessary to look at the widespread use of siberian eleuthero extract by individuals whose occupations subject their bodies and minds to extremes of stress….

Cosmonauts, deep-sea divers, soldiers explorers, mountain rescue teams and elite athletes are just a few of the groups of such people to swear by the benefits of eleuthero

But it’s not just a question of helping the already supremely fit attain even higher levels of performance. Many modern scientific studies have now examined the effect of siberian eleuthero upon thousands of individuals of all ages, and the herb is also a traditional Chinese folk remedy for common ailments such as bronchitis, all kinds of heart and circulatory problems, rheumatism and male infertility to name but a few.

And in the 1960s eleuthero root became, and remains, extremely popular with countless thousands of ordinary Russians – which is not surprising as more recent Russian studies have confirmed eleuthero extract’s potential benefits in tackling cardiac disease, disorders of the circulatory system, blood pressure problems, diabetes and even cancer.

Now it’s important to stress that siberian eleuthero is not claimed as a cure for these or any other health condition; it’s rather that the herb performs the essential function of the adaptogen – acting as a tonic and stimulant for the entire system, and so helping the body’s natural healing processes restore it to optimum performance.
