Many of the studies, especially older ones, were done in Russia. It does make me wonder if that’s one of the reasons why they always used to do so well in the Olympics.
Addiction TreatmentSome animal studies are revealing that it may be very useful in treating addiction to opiates and nicotine Anti-oxidant.
Rhodiola is also an anti-inflammatory-drogen peroxide-tion known as Vitilego.
Anti-microbialAs an anti-microbial, it’s actions in the laboratory and in micethe Coxsackie virus, which causes viral myocarditis, an infection that causes inflammation of the heart muscle. It has also demonstrated activity against H1N1 and H9N2 influenza virusWith school starting and cold and flu season coming, this may be another herb worth adding to the household herbal arsenal.

As if that wasn’t enough, this plant had still more to offer, with benefits in diabetes, high cholesterol, and depr , including that it was as effective as the drug fluoxetine.
Cell protectionWhat caught my attention most while sifting through the medical journals about this herb is its ability to protect cells from damage.

SynergyThis is another herb where the synergistic effects of its many phytochemicals (plant chemi-cals) is greater than each of its phytochemicals alone In my use of this plant so far, I have found it to be an uplifting herb that promotes a feeling of more energy and alertness, but without interfering with sleep. I have even included it in a formula for my dog, which the vet thinks has an auto-immune condition known as Pem-phigus. For my clients, I try to keep some on hand at all times in the dispensary.
