<br>Rhodiola Rosea is the latest natural remedy to join the arsenal

<br>of natural anxiety and stress reducers. 

<br>

<br>Rhodiola Rosea, also known as Golden Root, is a native plant of

<br>arctic Siberia. For centuries it has been used by eastern

<br>European and Asian cultures for physical endurance, work

<br>productivity, longevity, resistance to high altitude sickness,

<br>and to treat fatigue, depression, anemia, impotence,

<br>gastrointestinal ailments, infections, and nervous system

<br>disorders. 

<br>

<br>The first recorded medicinal applications of rodia riza (renamed

<br>Rhodiola Rosea) was made by the Greek physician, Dioscorides, in

<br>77 C.E. in 'De Materia Medica'. Rhodiola Rosea has been included

<br>in official Russian medicine since 1969. 

<br>

<br>Despite its long history, the Western world has only recently

<br>become aware of the health benefits of Rhodiola Rosea. It has

<br>come to the attention of many natural health practitioners

<br>because of studies which tested its affects on combating anxiety

<br>and stress. 

<br>

<br>Rhodiola Rosea is considered an adaptogen. This means it has an

<br>overall stabilizing effect on the body without disrupting other

<br>functions. Its ability to normalize hormones may be effective for

<br>treating depression and anxiety. 

<br>

<br>Studies of Rhodiola Rosea show that it stimulates

<br>neurotransmitters and enhances their effects on the brain. This

<br>includes the ability for the brain to process serotonin which

<br>helps the body to adapt to stress. 

<br>

<br>Since adaptogens improve the body's overall ability to handle

<br>stress, it has been studied to identify it's effects on

<br>biological, chemical and physical stress. 

<br>

<br>A study was performed to test the effects of Rhodiola Rosea when

<br>stress is caused by intense mental work (such as final exams).

<br>Such tests concluded that using Rhodiola Rosea improved the

<br>amount and quality of work, increasing mental clarity and

<br>reducing the effects of fatigue. 

<br>

<br>The effects of Rhodiola Rosea have also been tested on stress and

<br>anxiety from both physical and emotional sources. A report by the

<br>American Botanical Council states that "Most users find that it

<br>improves their mood, energy level, and mental clarity." They also

<br>report on a study that indicated Rhodiola Rosea could increase

<br>stress tolerance while at the same time protecting the brain and

<br>heart from the physical affects of stress. 

<br>

<br>This report included details of studies which highlight the

<br>overall health benefits of Rhodiola Rosea. 

<br>

<br>The generally recommended dose is 200-600mg/day. The active

<br>properties should be a minimum 0.8 percent salidroside and 3

<br>percent rosavin. 

<br>

<br>It is important for consumers to know that Rhodiola may be sold

<br>using other species that do not share the properties of Rhodiola

<br>Rosea, or at ineffective strengths for treatment. Anyone with

<br>depression or anxiety should also check with a health

<br>professional when treating these symptoms.
