Effects of Eleuthero (Siberian ginseng)?

Can you answer speaker of unassailable truth’s question about Ginseng?:
Does anyone have any input on Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng)? I heard it recommended for people who were younger but overtaxed, as it packs less of a punch than true ginseng. Can anyone fill me in on the specifics? From a Chinese perspective, is it more of a yin plant or a yang plant? is it a “warming” herb, a “cooling” one, or neutral? What effect would it have on the kidneys–would it be contraindicated for someone under a lot of stress or already showing some signs of renal fatigue? What about on the body in general?
To re-iterate, I’m interested in Elethero, which is not actually a ginseng (i.e., American, and Chinese red and white), it’s simply called such.
Anybody got any input from a Traditional Chinese perspective, or on the actual or theorized effect on the adrenal system?
