Description:
Rhodiola rosea is a legendary adaptogenic tonifier that comes from the polar arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Among traditional people there it is highly valued as a strengthening tonic to increase physical and mental stamina. Rhodiola increases tolerance to various stressors (e.g. mental, physical, environmental), in part by benefically modifying the stress response. This herb acts predominantly on the hypothalamus in a way that normalises the manner in which the body responds to stress triggers. The enhancement of serotonin activity would also be of value in reducing anxiety-related symptoms associated with chronic stress.
