[What is Siberian Ginseng?]

Eleutherococcus, also known as eleuthero or Siberian ginseng, grows in mountain forests and is native to eastern Asia including China, Japan, and Russia. Traditional Chinese Medicine has used eleutherococcus for reducing lethargy, fatigue, and low stamina as well as increasing endurance and resilience to environmental stresses. Eleutherococcus is considered an “adaptogen,” a term that describes herbs or other substances that, when ingested, appears to help an organism increase resistance to stress. There is strong evidenceEleutherococcus senticosus increases endurance and mental performance in patients with mild fatigue and weakness.

DESCRIPTION: The yellow pigment curcumin in the spice turmeric may work as good or better than anti-inflammatory drugs and pain killers for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

What about rheumatoid arthritis? That was my last video, Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis). Next, I’ll cover Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin) and then end with some caveats (Who Shouldn’t Consume Curcumin or Turmeric, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-consume-curcumin-or-turmeric).

I think the only other video I have on osteoarthritis is Rose Hips for Osteoarthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-osteoarthritis-treatment).

Those unfamiliar with the China study should read it (https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54905518)! I also mention it in my video China Study on Sudden Cardiac Death (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/china-study-on-sudden-cardiac-death/).

If, as described, oxidative stress and inflammation both play a role in joint inflammation, then that may help explain the role of turmeric. See my recent videos Which Spices Fight Inflammation? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-spices-fight-inflammation) and Spicing Up DNA Protection (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/spicing-up-dna-protection).

I’d also add nuts (Fighting Inflammation in a Nut Shell, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/fighting-inflammation-in-a-nut-shell/) and mushrooms (Boosting Immunity While Reducing Inflammation, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-immunity-while-reducing-inflammation/) to the list of anti-inflammatory plant foods.
