About the Rhodiola plant

Rhodiola rosea (pink root, arctic root, golden root) is a succulent plant that grows in Iceland, Greenland, Siberia, and China, among other places. The plant was first mentioned by Pedanius Dioscorides (circa 40-90 AD), a Greek physician, pharmacologist and botanist. Siberian tribes used the hardy plants to increase their physical and mental vitality. Anno 2020, rose root is most often used in natural medicine as a standardized dietary supplement.

Rhodiola rosea is a stimulant and adaptogen herbal remedy that has long been used in folk medicine. Adaptogens are herbs and other substances that increase mental and physical resilience during short-term moments of stress. Rhodiola relieves anxiety and supports recovery from depression, restlessness, stress and burnout. Side effects are rarely observed.
