Tibetan Rhodiola Tibetan Rhodiola sacra is a rare herbal substance because it grows in one of the harshest environments in the world. In the Orient, Rhodiola sacra is called “Plateau Ginseng,” and as the species name “sacra” indicates, the Tibetans consider Rhodiola sacra to be a sacred herb. It has been used by the Tibetan people as a powerful adaptogenic vitalizer since the beginning of Tibetan civilization. Rhodiola sacra has also been prized by the Chinese and was very positively reviewed in the very first Chinese herbal classic over two thousand years ago. It was regarded by the author of that classic text, Shen Nong, as a life-prolonging, wisdom enhancing “superior herb.” However, the rarity of Rhodiola sacra has prevented it from becoming a well-known commodity outside of Asia.

Main Constituent Rhodiola sacra is rich in the primary active ingredient, salidroside. However, it is important to know that this single active agent is not the sole active agent in Rhodiola sacra, and that Dragon Herbs’ Diamond Mind is extracted so that the full range of phytochemicals are fully extracted. This is a full potency herbal extract. It is effective in very small quantities and its effects are felt by many people almost immediately. Safety Rhodiola sacra is a non-toxic herbal nutrient. Safety studies, as well as 2000 years of experience, indicate conclusively that Rhodiola sacra is safe, having no side effects in humans when taken as suggested. Additional Information about Tibetan Rhodiola Rhodiola sacra, and several other very closely related species of Rhodiola (which may be used interchangeably with Rhodiola sacra) grows on the Himalayas at more than 14,700 feet above sea level, under extremely adverse conditions. The region in which Rhodiola sacra grows is extremely barren due to the extreme climatic conditions of the Tibetan alpines. This is considered to be one of the harshest environments on earth, with dry air, insufficient oxygen, strong ultraviolet radiation and a huge day-and-night temperature variance (often as much 60 degrees Centigrade or more). Rhodiola sacra, which belongs to the Crassulaceae family, is a sub-shrub plant with a succulent stem. Its adaptability to the harsh environmental circumstances and its vitality are seldom found in any other plants. Rhodiola sacra’s root and stem are mainly used as a precious tonic. The major effective contents are salidroside (C14H20O9), tyrosot (C8H10O2), p-sitosterol, ethyl gallate, gallic acid, flavones, phenol compounds, 35 kinds of biologically active trace elements (e.g., Fe, Al, Zn, Ag, Co, Cd, Ti, Mo, Mn, etc.), as well as a complex volatile oil. Tibetan Rhodiola also contains 18 amino acids which are needed by the human body, 7 of which are "essential" (cannot be produced by the body). Such a spectrum of bio-nutrients is seldom seen in any other natural plant. Salidroside, tyrosot and sitosterol mainly enhance the resistance of the human body by helping it to adapt to stressful conditions and adjust physiological functions for restoration. It has double-direction adjusting effects on the nervous system and endocrine system, and possesses many kinds of physiologically active components. The people of Tibet knew over a thousands years ago that by decocting Rhodiola sacra with water or extracting it in alcohol, it can be consumed to help overcome short-term fatigue from heavy physical labor and to help increase the vitality necessary for completing extraordinary physical tasks. The benefits of Rhodiola sacra were recorded in the Jingzhu Materia Medica (the Tibetan Medicine Documents). According to that ancient Tibetan medical classic, Rhodiola sacra supports the tissues of the lungs and respiratory functions. It was said by “Shen Nong’s Materia Medica Classic” that “Rhodiola sacra will make the body light and relaxed, and will make the eyes bright.” Rhodiola crenulata, a very close relative of Rhodiola sacra, is used interchangeably with Rhodiola sacra in both Tibet and China. They are pharmacologically very similar and are indistinguishable clinically. In Tibet, they are regarded as the same herb, though their flower is a different color. They are merely considered different varieties of Tibetan Rhodiola. Tibetan Rhodiola is a health treasure presented by Tibet and Bhutan to the whole world and by Ron Teeguarden’s Dragon Herbs to you.
