Adaptogenic Herb : The benefits of Eleuthero herbal tea

 

The other day, I bought ELEUTHERO tea leaves at the shop booth

which was set up at the meeting place of the  JAMHA’s symposium.

 

JAMHA is JAPANESE MEDICAL HERB ASSOCIATION,

which is the biggest herbal organization in Japan.

 

Eleuthero is the adaptgenic herb which is effective to

stress and fatigue of entire body.

 

I thought my body has been damaged by strong sunshine, 

UV rays and heat of Summer.

 

 

It seems like a wood chip, Actually roots of the plant

and smells like cypress bath*.

 

*Cypress bath is traditional Japanese bath style :

 the bathtub is made of cypress timber.

 

It almost feels like I’m in the forest.

 

 

The color of tea is light yellow.

 

Actually it doesn’t have much taste itself,

better to be blended with another herbs.
