RHODIOLA ROSEA — FIGHTING FATIGUE ON ALL FRONTS 

In Siberia it is said that those who drink rhodiola tea regularly will live more than 100 years. This remarkable herb has long been an important healing remedy in northern Europe and Asia. Vikings, for example, used the herb to enhance their physical strength and endurance. Since 1960, more than 180 pharmacological, phytochemical, and clinical studies have been published on its therapeutic benefits.

Rhodiola increases work capacity – both mental and physical – under stressful conditions. As part of its significant action against fatigue, it can also boost brain function and memory. Researchers have found that, compared to other tonic herbs, rhodiola has the most pronounced effect on the ability to enhance a person’s energy levels in terms of work. For instance, when given rhodiola, medical students had reduced mental fatigue, improved sleep patterns, a reduced need for sleep, greater mood stability, and a greater motivation to study.
