Today it’s really nice up here. It’s sunny, bright and not too
cold. This year, the winter has been very mild so far, which
is good for my body, I can’t complain, but I know, bad for the
environment, mh.
Anyway, I love days like this, even if it’s freezing out.
I lived on the west coast for a while, and know how it is to
deal with rain and more rain, and greyness day after day;
after a few days it takes toll on your mood, and you feel
a bit gloomy like the sky.
Well, from this sunny and crisp cold part of the world,
we’re going to talk about a root that helps to increase your
metabolism, manage stress more effectively, think
more clearly, etc.
This is something also known as the ‘golden root’.
It’s found in large quantities in Siberia where villagers,
for years, have used it for all kind of illnesses.
Today, Siberians still say that ‘people who drink Rhodiola
tea will live more than 100 years.’ –Would you like to live
that long..
Rhodiola has been used in Tibet for centuries, and traditional
Chinese medicine uses this root to enhance stamina, combat
stress, support the immune system and balance blood pressure.
This herb acts as a muscle relaxant and mood enhancer.
Now, studies conducted with animals have shown that Rhodiola
has a very positive effect in the metabolism of fats.
Also, in studies that included high performing athletes it
was found that Rhodiola increased strength, energy and physical
work capacity while it reduced the recovery time. This is good
news if you want to add more exercise to your health regimen
but are feeling that you need an extra push. You know, exercise
is a great thing to do to combat anxious feelings.
But there’s much more.
The glands can benefit from it too.
Researchers have found that the golden root can enhance the
function of the thyroid, the thymus and the adrenal glands,
which play a key role in the management of stress.
And to add to all this, Rhodiola rocea extract has demonstrated
to have very, very strong antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic
properties.
There you have it. Ah, Rhodiola is considered a safe herb but,
at high doses of 1,000 mg or more can cause irritability,
restlessness, and insomnia. And people who suffer from
psychological disorders such as bi-polar disorder should not
take it.
You may find Rhodiola extract at mountainroseherbs.com.
They also offer the dry root, which you can prepare into a tea
according to their instructions.
Mother Nature is definitely wise, and all the answers to a
healthy, vibrant and enjoyable life are found in its wisdom.

balance, with time, your same body will give it to you.
