Rhodiola rosea: A Possible Plant Adaptogen
Rhodiola rosea is a popular plant in traditional medical systems in Eastern Euro
pe and Asia with a reputation for stimulating the nervous system, decreasing depr
ession, enhancing work performance, eliminating fatigue, and preventing high alti
tude sickness.
Rhodiola rosea has been categorized as an adaptogen by Russian researchers due t
o its observed ability to increase resistance to a variety of chemical, biologica
l, and physical stressors.
Its claimed benefits include antidepressant, anticancer, cardioprotective, and
central nervous system enhancement. Research also indicates great utility in asth
enic conditions (decline in work performance, sleep difficulties, poor appetite,
irritability, hypertension, headaches, and fatigue) developing subsequent to inte
nse physical or intellectual strain.
