Eleuthero: Scientific Evidence

Consider with Immune deficiency, convalescence, inflammatory conditions (-itis), Adrenal Fatigue, Asthma, Candida, Hypoglycemia, jet lag, hypothyroidism, and menopause.  Use for fatigue, exhaustion, feeling stressed, and brain fog.  Attributes – Adaptogen, Immune Regulating.  Organ/Systems – Adrenal, Endocrine, Immune system.  Cautions – High blood pressure

Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) are considered the highest form of scientific evidence.  A group of people with the same condition are divided into two groups, and randomly assigned to receive the medicine or a placebo.  Neither the patient nor the doctors know which group they are in until the results are assessed.

The following are RCTs in the National Library of Medicine listed when you search “Eleuthero double blind.”
