Sunrider Ci Wu Jia -Siberian Ginseng

Sunrider Ci Wu Jia

Ci Wu Jia is an adaptogenic herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a food grade herb because it does not contain any harmful components. Although called Siberian Ginseng it is not in the Ginseng family. It has a warming ability and you may recognize it’s other name Eleutherococcus senticosus, also known as Eleuthero. Now this is a name I’m more familiar with because I have found it as an ingredient in quite a few products over the past few years. From the research on MountSinai.org website it traditionally is used to prevent colds and flu and to increase energy, longevity, and vitality. I was taking it regularly when I contracted my ‘flu bug’ and I had fairly mild symptoms and got over it quickly. I was taking 2-5 capsules the week before and I increased to 10 after my positive test. The most obvious reaction I had after talking Ci Wu Jia was a warning of my body. No longer noticeable, so I feel my circulation has balanced. I took this along with 15 capsules of Chinese goldenseal on an empty stomach in the mo morning between 9-11am. Spleen Meridian time to get through the ‘flu bug’. Regarding that ‘flu bug’ research on pubmed describes it this way:

”Along with the increase in dampness and toxin combining with heat or cold pathogen entering into the interior body, the syndrome presents as lung with dampness toxin retention (濕毒鬱肺) or cold dampness blocking lung (寒濕阻肺), which are combined by heat, toxin, dampness, and cold, accounting for the majority of the symptoms. The clinical symptoms of patients include fever, dyspnea, expectoration, constipation and diarrhea. Therapeutics of eliminating heat and dampness or invigorating spleen to eliminate dampness, as well as detoxification would be used.”

This proved useful to me as dampness in my spleen is an ongoing problem. Thanks to Chinese Goldenseal Root and Ci Wu Jia along with Sunbars to give me energy, Herb-cal to keep my temperature normal, Sunbreeze for pain behind my eyes and in my ears and lots of Calli Tea, I had very few symptoms that didn’t last long. I also had random head pain that I found was alleviated by showering with the Gemma ionized water.
