'' Siberian ginseng, commonly called eleuthero, is abundant in Russia, Korea, Japan, and China. They have been using Siberian ginseng in treating colds and flu for thousands of years already. The active ingredient found in Siberian ginseng is called eleutherosides, which is a very helpful compound in treating viral infections that result in influenza, bronchitis, and other diseases caused by infection.''

== Forms of Siberian ginseng as herbal medicines: ==
# Powdered Siberian ginseng. [[Image:Siberian ginseng powdered.jpg|center|250px]] This can be bought at supermarkets and drug stores. The right dosage recommended is 1 to 2 grams daily. You can use this to make a tea, but make sure that you will only take 1 teaspoon of powdered ginseng per cup.
# Liquid Siberian ginseng. [[Image:Liquid siberian ginsneg.jpg|center|250px]] Recommended dosage is 1/2 to 1 teaspoon thrice daily. The amount of dosage to take for people who have acute diseases is 6 to 12 ml, but this should be divided into three periods, which will be 2 to 4 ml thrice a day and between meals. 
# Capsule Siberian ginseng. [[Image:Died siberian ginseng.jpg|center|250px]] As a rule of thumb, you should take ginseng capsule thrice daily between meals or every other day. However, this still depends on your condition. Ask your doctor about the right dosage suitable for you. [[Image:Siberian ginseng capsules.jpg|center|250px]]
# Dried Siberian ginseng roots. These are solid and brittle. You may buy some at the supermarket and simmer the dried roots for few minutes to extract its active property called ginsenosides. Recommended dosage per cup is three teaspoons of the extract, and you may drink it twice or thrice daily. 
# Fresh Siberian ginseng roots: [[Image:Fresh siberian ginseng roots.jpg|center|250px]] We use the roots of eleuthero because these contain the helpful compounds for treating bronchitis and colds. If you have eleuthero plants at home, you may just pick some and make your own herbal ginseng tea. Based on Chinese medicine, it is thought that fresh raw eleuthero is much more effective in treating colds and viral infections than other forms of Siberian ginseng medications, because you can extract all helpful active compounds in the herb. And in one dose, you may feel the good result in your body thereafter.

==Questions and Answers==
===How to serve siberian ginseng?===
You can dip ginseng onto a tea.  Any type of tea will do, but it is best dipped into hot servings of tea as that will help in squeezing out the juice.

Some people also mix it with hot lemon juice.  It complements the sour taste of lemon juice well.  On the side, you can serve hot ginseng juice and tea with some biscuits or pastries.
