Ezekiel 47:12 "And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine."


Nicknames: Devils Bush;[1] Siberian ginseng[It's not the same thing as real Ginseng folks], Taiga root, Eleuthero, Ciwujia, Devil's shrub, Shigoka, Touch-me-not, Wild pepper, or Kan Jang.[1] | The plants primary nickname, "Devils Bush", is reason enough for me to NOT use it.


Classification: Perennial;


Plant Family(Strain): Araliaceae; Genus: Eleutherococcus; Species: E. senticosus;[1] | Another strain, E. sessiliflorus, produces and contains unique 3,4-seco-lupane triterpenoids.[10]


Ethnobotany: Eleuthero has a lot of folklore tied to it.[1] In my experience, most folk lore is witchcraft, and most plants that induce delirium or death, are tied to the darkest regions and members of the occult.(see Modern Medicines Connection To The Occult ) Elutherococcus senticosus also has a history of use in Ancient Chinese Medicine.[1] It's used in cosmetics, and is sold as an herbal remedy.[1] Keep this in mind for any entrepaneurs who make your own herbal products. Eluethero has some surprising traditional uses. It was used in indengeous medicine for its anti-fatigue properties, sleep improvement, and memory enhancement.[2] The cool thing about this operation (HerbsPedia), is that I get to compare the indigenous beliefs with what the science shows, and it is a fun learning experience for me! I enjoy sharing the findings here. This is where modern medicine comes from, as phytochemist find out which specimens to study because of the field of ethnobotany, and ethnobotanist determine which ethnobotanicals to study due to which ethnobotanicals indigenous cultures used.[6][7] It starts with primitive traditions, and winds up at big pharma.[6][7]


Potential adverse effects: Anyone who has heart disease, sleep apnea, takes digoxin, hexobarbital(or anything similar), has high blood pressure, narcolepsy, or has mental illness, will likely have a very bad reaction to "Devils Bush"(Elutherococcus senticosus).[1] High doses of this drug/medicine can cause confusion, irritability, insomnia, and anxiety.[1] It sounds like a deliriant, as they too can induce all of these symptoms. A combination of the observation that I just shared with you, and the common nickname "Devils bush", is enough for me to see the witchcraft/occult connection, and know not to use this stuff, period, under any circumstance. I only mess with non-deliriant plants.


Natural Habitat: North East Asia;[1]


OG Observations: I'm noticing that there is a huge hidden trend of poisonous plants being used in association with witchcraft, even more so than before I started this project. I've been able to dig up a ton of ethnobotanicals that no one seems to have heard of here in the west yet. I'm also keeping up with all of the products that the different ethnobotanical shops are stocking out there. Most of the Grey Area Ethnobotanicals are being pimped out of Europe these days.


Phytochemicals: Phytochemicals are complex God-made medicines that exist within plants and common herbal remedies. Eleuthero specifically, produces: phenols, called eleutherosides (derivatives of lignans, coumarins, and phenylpropanoids), flavonoids (hyperin, rutin, afzelin, quercetin, and kaempferol), phenolic acids, triterpenic acids, and anthocyanins.[8] The fruit of Eleuthero contains eleutherosides (eleutherosides B and E), flavonoids, phenolic acids, and essential oil (0.3%, v/d.w.).[8] The dried fruits are rich in Ca, Mg, Mn, Zn, and Cu.[8] In the leaves, flavonoids (quercetin, quercitrin, and rutin) have been identified.[8] Another scholarly sources states that phytochemist have identified the following: terpenoids, phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, volatile oils, organic acids and their esters, nitrogenous compounds, quinones, phenolics, and carbohydrates.[10] These pharmacologically active chemical components of Eleuthero have anti-oxidative stress, anti-aging, antiplatelet aggregation, and antitumor effects.[10] Additionally, these phytochemical components show potential in improving glucose metabolism, cardiovascular systems, and immune systems[10]


Pharmacological / Medicinal Properties: Scientist have looked into the anti-oxidative damage, anti-inflammation, neurotransmitter modulation, improvement of neuronal growth, and anti-apoptosis properties induced by Eleuthero.[2] There's a lot of academic journals available on this specimen, so it isn't poorly understood or anything, as it has been widely studied. It has been studied for its supposed benefits on those suffering from neurological disorders(mental illnesses)[2] OG Observation: This isn't shocking because I have learned over the years in my studies that in homeopathy they have a rule called "like treats like"[3], and the side effects of this drug seem to be things related to delirium and psychosis.. hints, something that induces psychosis and delirium being used to treat mental illness.. like treats like..[3] This ethnobotanical specimen isn't the standard herbal remedy, rather is something that seems like it would fit in best with homeopathic practices. The reported properties and warnings are contradictory, but then again the dosing(the size of the dose administered) of any drug or medicine plays a huge role in the outcome of its effects.[4] The Arndt Schultz Law is a great example of this.[4] This medical law states that "For every substance, small doses stimulate, moderate doses inhibit, large doses kill."[4][5]


According to academic sources, Eleuthero has the following medical properties and applications: anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, anti-anxiety, anti-depression, anti-diabetes, anti-fatigue, neuroprotection, hepatoprotection, immunoregulation, anti-Parkinson’s disease, anti-Alzheimer's disease, and anti-cardiovascular and is useful for cerebrovascular disease.[9] More research shows that Eleuthero produces adaptogenic, immunostimulant, and anti-inflammatory properties.[11] Here is some more of what the scientist are saying about the pharmacological mechanisms behind how Eleuthero herb works: "Compounds present in both the fruits and roots of E. senticosus have demonstrated the ability to regulate enzyme activity, such as hyaluronidase, indicating its potential in treating conditions through its anti-inflammatory effects. E. senticosus is also known to exhibit antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza A virus in cell cultures infected with these viruses. E. senticosus is also able to reduce the cardiovascular responses to stress, proving to be helpful for stress adaptation."[11] It's always cool to show people that the traditional beliefs about medicinal plants and the science are in alignment. So from just this small bit from one study that was published, we can see how complex Eleuthero's medical actions are, being that it is working in multiple areas at once.
