Eleutherococcus senticosus is popularly and incorrectly called Russian or Siberian ginseng, and has shown strong potential to significantly reduce the number of outbreaks in people with genital herpes. Although cold sores (oral herpes) are not caused by the same virus, the viruses are related, and therefore Eleutherococcus may be useful in reducing cold sore outbreaks.
Effect of Eleutherococcus senticosus on Cold Sores (Herpes Simplex Type 1)
The effect of Eleutherococcus on herpes is not clear. The herb is generally regarded as an adaptogen, or something that helps the body adapt to stresses of various kinds, whether heat, cold, exertion, trauma, sleep deprivation, toxic exposure, radiation, infection, or psychological stress. Adaptogens are also believed to cause no side effects, be effective in treating a wide variety of illnesses, and help return an organism toward balance no matter what may have gone wrong.

Safety Issues
According to studies performed primarily in the former Soviet Union, Eleutherococcusappears to present a low order of toxicity in both the short- and long-term. Human trials have not resulted in any significant side effects. 1 Safety in pregnant or nursing women, young children, or people with severe liver or kidney disease is not known.
One report suggests that Eleutherococcusmay alter the results of a test for the medication digoxin. 2 However, it is not clear whether it was the Eleutherococcusor a contaminant (eg, digoxin mixed with the herb) that caused these problems.
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking:
- Digoxin : Eleutherococcus may interfere with blood tests designed to measure digoxin level.

My name is Olisa Blessing, I live so happily. I never thought to imagine I will be this happy again in life. I have served as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV). I never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their doctors report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease. I became so depressed that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved. She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real. I went back to my work a month later with another HSV negative test result and they carried out another test to be very sure and they found out I am negative. Finally, the initial test was replaced with a negative result and my position was restored to me with an apology letter and a salary increment. Beware of impersonators, Dr. Utu can only be reached at: drutuherbalcure@gmail.com
