Rhodiola is the Answer to Stress and Anxiety by Keith Woolley
The popular herb, Rhodiola Rosea, sometimes called Golden Root, is found growing in arctic Siberia. For hundreds of years it has been celebrated by eastern European and Asian cultures for endurance, work productivity, extending longevity, giving resistance to high altitude sickness, and to treat tiredness/fatigue, depression, anemia, impotence, gastrointestinal ailments, infections, and nervous system problems.
The first occurance of a medicinal application of rodia riza Rhodiola Rosea was made by a Greek physician named Dioscorides, in 77 BC in ‘De Materia Medica’. Rhodiola Rosea has been included in official Russian medicine since 1969.
Despite its long history of use, the Western world has only recently become aware of the natural health benefits of Rhodiola. It has rightly come to the attention of vast numbers of natural health practitioners enlightened to studies which tested its affects on combating anxiety and stress.
Rhodiola Rosea is considered an adaptogen. This means it has an overall stabilizing effect on the body without disrupting other functions. Its ability to normalize hormones may be effective for treating depression and anxiety.
Studies of Rhodiola Rosea show that it stimulates neurotransmitters and enhances their effects on the brain. This includes the ability for the brain to process serotonin which helps the body to adapt to stress.
Since adaptogens improve the body’s overall ability to handle stress, it has been studied to identify it’s effects on biological, chemical and physical stress.
A study was performed to test the effects of Rhodiola Rosea when stress is caused by intense mental work (such as final exams). Such tests concluded that using Rhodiola Rosea improved the amount and quality of work, increasing mental clarity and reducing the effects of fatigue.
The effects of Rhodiola Rosea have also been tested on stress and anxiety from both physical and emotional sources. A report by the American Botanical Council states that “Most users find that it improves their mood, energy level, and mental clarity.” They also report on a study that indicated Rhodiola Rosea could increase stress tolerance while at the same time protecting the brain and heart from the physical affects of stress.
This report included details of studies which highlight the overall health benefits of Rhodiola Rosea.
The generally recommended dose is 200-600mg/day. The active properties should be a minimum 0.8 percent salidroside and 3 percent rosavin.
It is important for anyone considering the benefits of Rhodiola that it may be sold using other species that do not share the properties of Rhodiola Rosea, or at strengths considered innefective for treatment. Anyone with chronic depression or serious anxiety should also check with a health professional when treating these symptoms.

Read on for even more Rhodiola Rosea facts that you can share with your friends. So that’s the latest from the Rhodiola authorities and researchers.
