Side effects: Siberian ginseng, or Eleuthero, is contraindicated in children under 12, pregnant and breastfeeding women and for anyone who has uncontrollable high blood pressure. Unlike Korean ginseng, Siberian ginseng appears to increase blood pressure for those with low blood pressure and decrease blood pressure for those with high blood pressure however we tend to be cautious and never recommend it for those who are struggling to keep their blood pressure within normal limits. Since Siberian ginseng has an impact on the immune system, it should not be used by anyone suffering from an autoimmune disease such as Crohn’s and rheumatoid arthritis.
