Dried Siberian Ginseng (Ci Wu Jia) has a rich history of traditional use, with origins in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dating back over 2,000 years. This herb has been revered for its potential benefits and its role in supporting overall vitality and well-being.
Known for its potential adaptogenic properties, Siberian Ginseng is believed to help the body cope with stress, enhance endurance, and promote balance within the body’s internal systems.
The taste of Siberian Ginseng is bittersweet, reflecting its complex nature. It is classified as a ‘warming herb’ in TCM, meaning it is thought to have energising and stimulating effects on the body, particularly during colder seasons or when the body is in need of additional strength.
Despite the name, Ci Wu Jia is a different species to the true ginsengs. It sits alongside Dried Sliced Ginseng (Ren Shen), Dried Codonopsis Root (Dang Shen), and Dried Astragalus Root (Huang Qi) in our tonic root range.
Energy and Stamina: Siberian Ginseng is considered an adaptogen, potentially helping the body manage physical and mental stress. It may help support overall energy levels and is a popular choice for those seeking to sustain natural stamina.
Adaptogenic Tradition: Long included in traditional blends taken to potentially help the body cope with everyday demands.
Warming Character: Classified as a warming herb in traditional practice, which is why it features in preparations enjoyed during colder months.
Circulation: Ci Wu Jia has long been included in traditional preparations associated with supporting natural circulation.
Balance: Used in traditional blends intended to potentially encourage a sense of natural equilibrium.
We recommend around 5g per portion.
The root is firm, so simmer it in water for twenty to thirty minutes rather than steeping briefly, then strain. It has a bittersweet character that blends well with sweeter herbs from the range.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have high blood pressure, or take regular medication, speak to a healthcare professional before use.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
At Vita, we are committed to providing the highest quality herbs, carefully selected to support a variety of goals and enhance your favourite recipes.
We take pride in offering a 100% guaranteed non-sulphur treated herb range. While many in the market use sulphur to brighten appearance, extend shelf life, and prevent insect damage, this process alters the herb’s natural composition and may trigger allergic reactions in some individuals.

Our long-term partnerships, established since 2010, allow us to select herbs from their ideal growing regions, ensuring they are harvested at the right place and time for maximum efficacy.
