Rhodiola Rosea (1 Viewer)

What does it do for you?
rosea (aka golden root, roseroot, hóng jǐng tiān in TCM) is a member of the Crassulaceae family and grows across the Arctic, the mountains of Central Asia, the Rockies, the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Carpathian Mountains, Scandinavia, Iceland, Great Britain and Ireland. According to some herbalists it could be an elixir for life.The Wikipedia entry for R rosea says it may be effective for improving mood and alleviating depression and early stage studies on people have shown some efficacy in improving physical and mental performance, alleviating fatigue, and reducing high-altitude sickness. A possible mode of action involves what the entry describes as, “optimizing serotonin and dopamine levels”. This apparently happens by inhibition of the enzyme monoamine oxidase, which supposedly ties in with an effect on endorphins, the body’s natural opiates. However, there is no scientific evidence for this activity and it would seem to be pure speculation.According to a press release I received recently, R rosea is a remarkable story. It is the story of how a traditional herbal remedy from Sweden became the force behind Soviet Olympic athletes and cosmonauts. The Swedish Herbal Institute has even done what the email claims is “hard” research, unusually for a herbal product, in the form of double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trials.

As a heart attack. Hack may be able to dig up a PM I shot him a week or so ago. That's the only thing I can thing of that would have changed anything. I'm semi retired and don't do a lot of work this time of year. Mostly live off of reserves. Anyhow, I had been sleeping until 10:30-11:00 in the morning. Decided to try this herb on a whim to see if it would have any effects whatsoever and the very next day I woke at 8:30 - fresh. This continued. Not sure where to attribute it.
 
All I could find at the corner hippie grocer was alcohol-based and needs to be mixed with water and drunk.

30 drops in and I am still waiting for enlightenment

 
Hack,

I feel great. How can I tell if this is just a placebo effect? Just not take it tomorrow and see if I feel like crap again?

Thanks,

Oats
