Rhodiola Rosea

             HELLO~~~ It’s me Herb! =)

      I would like to introduce North West of Asia this time where I found another very interesting indigenous medicinal plant. The region that I am going to introduce is called Altai region in Siberia where indigenous group of Altai people inhabit. The medicinal plant I found that one of this people use is called Rhodiola Rosea. This plant, Rhodiola Rosea, is a very special plant because it is a flowering herb in the Crassulaceae family that is only one which can be utilized for its potential health benefits out of 200 individual species.

     

      The group of native people who are living in the area of Altai region uses the property of this medicinal plant to enhance person’s life. This plant, Rhodiola Rosea, was for centuries used to cure most ailments. For those who suffer from anxiety, depression, stomach problems and other nervous system conditions, this plant can help ease the symptoms and allow the body to heal itself.

      Usage of this medicinal plant, Rhodiola Roea, draws attention to modern scientists beginning to use the property that this miraculous plant has. As mentioned above, indigenous people used this plant for many symptoms that had to do with nervous system conditions. Now the property that this medicinal plant led to modern research into its potential as an adaptogen- a substance that helps our bodies adapt to environmental, physiological and psychological stress.
