Rhodiola In 1931, a russian botanist discovered a native plant that enhanced physical endurance and sexual potency. The research on this herb was continued by Soviet scientists in the following decades, uncovering an extraordinary array of benefits. But it wasn’t until the early 1990s that the rest of the scientific world learned that the Russians have stumbled on one of the most astounding herbs ever to be studied - Rhodiola. Rhodiola (rhodiola Rosea), also known as arctic root, is still known to very few people in the western world, however, it has been used in Eurasian traditional medicine for over three millennia. Many of Rhodiola’s benefits are related to its function as an adaptogen, or to a compound that increases the body’s resistance to any type of stress. Eccessive release of stress hormones by the adrenal glands causes many adverse effects such as physical and mental fatigue, blood sugar imbalance, depression, immune suppression, sleep disturbance, cardiovacular dysfunction etc. Rhodiola has been shown to regulate the body’s hormonal response to stress. However, rather than just acting on the adrenal glands themselves, rhodiola appears to combat stress through the hypothalamus gland, the initial hormonal trigger of biological stress responses. As the research into rhodiola continues, the list of benefits is likely to get even longer. It is not only one of the most versatile plants known to man but also one of the safest.
