That's how I've been using Eleutherococcus. I recently gave it to an 86

year old woman who was exhausted looking after her disabled husband. and it

made such a big difference to her energy levels and outlook on life. (I

also got on to Social Services to get her some respite care and home help -

boy, is that a convoluted carry on! You need to know the exact magic words,

it seems, to get what you need, or they keep passing you over to different

departments - and then the service had to be got in her husband's name, not

hers, etc, etc - got there in the end, though).
