Rhodiola rosea

The ancient chronicles of Eastern and Central Asian peoples often mention a sacred plant, which was attributed to "supernatural" healing power. Legend say about its unusual properties, according to which the man who every day will drink decoction of this plant will live a hundred years

In contrast to the primitive man, who regularly faced with stress, forced him to "fight or flee", the attitude of modern people to stress is more chronic in nature, acting much more insidious and exhausting on the body. With a significant technological progress and accelerated development of human civilization, the man with his losing the ability to adapt, was ill-prepared for new types of stress (such as pollution of environment, toxins in the air, water and food, emotional stress, economic, family and social uncertainties, liability, etc.)

Given the fact that over 80% of all diseases arise initially due to stress, seems obvious that most of us are now in the stage of "exhaustion". The main socio-medical problem today is the so-called diseases of civilization, such as malignant tumors, cardiac disease, hypertension, cerebral stroke, diabetes.

In modern conditions, each of us to maintain good health need a daily supplementation of vitamin and mineral complexes. Science has found that vitamins and minerals play a critical role for the functioning of the organism and its adaptation to the changed conditions of life. Recently it was discovered a new class of nutrients, that is equally important for the organism. This are phytochemicals, which represent powerful adaptogens found in plants. Plants containing adaptogens were known, and a thousand years ago, practitioners of traditional medicine, but now they were "discovered" again.

Plants much earlier than men, undergo a period of adaptation to new conditions of survival. They have become big helpers in human adaptation to new conditions. They very quickly respond to changes in the Earth's ecology. Over millions of years of its existence, these plants were able to survive and develop in themselves such protective substances, which allowed them to survive without changing the genetic code to the present day. Substances that are contained in the leaves, roots and sap of plants, helping people to adapt to the changed conditions of life. These plants contain all the necessary trace elements, vitamins, prohormones, amino acids and all that helps adapttion.

Already on the pages of "Four Medical Dictionary", established in Tibet 1200 years ago has been written about the ability of one species of this plant to maintain good health. In Tibet, during the Kuing Dynasty (1644-1911) soldiers drank drink from Rhodiola rosea, to gain vitality. Today we would say - they "revived" with energy. The special properties of the mysterious plants in China held in secret. Initiates knew about its ability to stimulate blood circulation and purify the blood, and eventually they began to use rhodiola root for the prevention of heart attack.

In Mongolia, doctors use this plant as an aid in the treatment of tuberculosis and cancer. In Russia, traditional healers from time immemorial have successfully used it for colds, in the treatment of broncho-pulmonary diseases, to support the heart and prevent heart attack. They believe that rhodiola prolong human life and support the fight against harmful factors.

Rhodiola rosea, thanks to its healing properties, has acquired great popularity, but at the same time it is shrouded with some mystery, because it grows on the heavenly mountain tops. Its ancestral home is the Siberian mountains, where it can be found at an altitude of 3000 meters above sea level, and some of its species grow in the Himalayas - the highest mountain country of the world, sometimes at an altitude of 6000 m. It is possible that its inaccessibility was the reason that health, hidden in the active principles of this medicinal plants, long time was a privilege for the few people. That was until the last days. But recently Rhodiola rosea appeared in our network.
