Rebecca Speaks: One of my very favorite, Rhodiola is an adaptogen - offering support for handling stress; supports cardiovascular health; brain health - including mood (enhances neurotransmitter health) and memory; used for erectile dysfunction; altitude sickness; support for athletic endeavors and recovery; boosts mitochondrial energy; traditionally used for colds and flu.*
Summary: Like the better known eleuthero root, rhodiola is an adaptogen, enabling the body to maintain physiological balance during times of physical or mental stress. There is a substantial body of research that confirms that the herb confers numerous benefits to health, especially in normalizing the heart rate after exercise or stress. Russian researchers have found that extracts of rhodiola or Panax ginseng act in the same way as the drug Aricept in supporting cognitive function. In the brain stem, rhodiola compounds stimulate the release dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin into ascending pathways that activate the cerebral cortex, stimulating analyzing, evaluating, calculating, and planning functions. The stimulant effect then moves to the prefrontal cortex, where it contributes to memory functions including encoding, sorting, storage, and retrieval.
Precautions: A smaller dose of rhodiola is a stimulant, but a larger dose is a sedative. If you are seeking a boost to your immune system or you are treating depression, erectile dysfunction, or altitude sickness, try the smallest recommended dose first. If you are treating colds, flu, or stress, use a larger dose. Rhodiola is appropriate for depression, but it is not appropriate for bipolar disorder. Not recommended for use while pregnant.
Suggested Use: Shake well. Just one “squirt” (what comes up in one draw of the dropper, approximately 1 ml or 15 drops) once or twice daily does the trick if you are looking for the stimulative properties. If fighting illness, increase the dose by a couple of squirts, but you will become relaxed and sleepy.
