Notes

  • Rhodiola, Hong Jing Tian, drawn from the Tibetan medical tradition, is among the most widely used newer medicinals in Chinese medicine, best known for treating altitude sickness.
  • Long classed as a "superior herb" believed to prolong life and sharpen wisdom, it remained little known outside Asia because true Tibetan Rhodiola was so scarce. Tibetan monks relied on it to strengthen inner spiritual power, focus, and physical stamina.
  • Research suggests Rhodiola outperforms Ginseng in several respects.
  • It has been shown to boost both physical endurance and mental capacity, memory included.
  • Even a small dose of the extract markedly improves oxygen absorption and utilization.
  • It has been demonstrated to dampen the body's stress response, easing mental stress in turn.
  • It calms the Shen and brightens the eyes.
  • It has been found highly beneficial for the cardiovascular system and to help prevent heart disease.
  • It is also used as a potent, safe antidepressant, thought to exceed St. John's Wort in strength.
  • Antioxidant action: protects the liver against damage from lipid peroxides.
  • Blood-sugar-lowering: inhibits the glycogen rise triggered by glucose and epinephrine.
  • Improves memory impairment caused by drugs or alcohol.
  • Regulates blood flow within the central nervous system.
  • Increases the volume of oxygen-carrying blood reaching the heart muscle, protecting it from oxygen-deprivation damage.
  • Anti-hypoxic: may guard against hypoxia-driven biological changes, either by raising intracellular oxygen diffusion and its efficient use, or by limiting hypoxia-induced oxidative damage through its antioxidant capacity — thereby preventing high-altitude sickness.
  • Helps prevent hypertension-induced stroke.
  • Improves exercise endurance. It has been used to sustain athletes' endurance performance in training and competition by boosting biological factors linked to oxygen uptake. In-vivo studies show that oral R. rosea extract given to rats significantly extends long-distance swimming time and activates ATP synthesis and resynthesis in mitochondria — the primary energy source for most cellular functions and essential for movement and respiration.
  • Anti-inflammatory effect.
  • Antidepressant: the roots of Rhodiola rosea L. show strong antidepressant activity via MAO-A inhibition, and their MAO-B inhibition may also be useful in managing senile dementia.
  • Alleviates anxiety.
  • Protects against the harmful effects of microwave radiation.
  • Hepatoprotective effect.
  • The root, rhizome, or whole plant is used medicinally.
  • Rhodiola replenishes Qi, clears the Lungs, nourishes the Heart, sharpens mental function, stops bleeding, and disperses swelling and bruising. Clinical uses include general weakness following serious illness, chest pain or angina, post-stroke paralysis, fatigue, shortness of breath, traumatic injury, neurosis, and high-altitude sickness.
