rhodiola rosea
Crassulaceae family



In Siberia it is said that
"those who drink rhodiola tea regularly
will live more than 100 years."

Chinese emperors always looking for the secret
to long life and immortality sent expeditions into Siberia
to collect and bring back the plant.
Being one of the most popular medicinal herbs of middle Asia,
for many years Rhodiola was illegally trafficked
across the Russian border to China.
In Siberia it was taken regularly especially
during the cold and wet winters to prevent sickness.
In Mongolia it was used for the treatment
of tuberculosis and cancer.

Formerly regarded as a scarce plant, researchers
from Tomsk State University found significant stands
of this valuable herb growing wild in Siberia
at elevations of 5000 to 9000 feet above sea level.

Subsequent research has substantiated high life
giving biological activity with no toxicity.

Nearly 200 different rhodiola species have been identified.
Only 14 have been subjected to biochemical
study and it has been found that the chemical
composition and pharmacological activity
of rhodiola is definitely species related.
