Tibetan Rhodiola is an extraordinary herb, now available outside of Asia for the first time at Ron Teeguarden’s HerbGarden. It is a relatively rare substance that grows in one of the harshest environments in the world. In the Orient, it is called "Plateau Ginseng," and the Tibetans considered Rhodiola to be a sacred herb. It has been used by the Tibetan people as a powerful adaptogenic vitalizer and as a substantial medicinal agent since the beginning of Tibetan civilization. Rhodiola has also been prized by the Chinese and was very positively reviewed in the first Chinese herbal classic over two thousand years ago. It was regarded as a life-prolonging, wisdom enhancing "superior herb." However, the rarity of Tibetan Rhodiola has prevented it from becoming a well-known commodity outside of Asia until now. This incredible herb was used by the Tibetan monks to enhance their inner spiritual power, the power of concentration and physical endurance. It has undoubtedly played a major role in the development of Tibetan culture.

Evidence has shown that Tibetan Rhodiola is in many ways more powerful than Ginseng. It is a superb herb for people who work very hard, either physically or mentally. Tibetan Rhodiola has been shown to improve endurance and mental capacity, including memory enhancement. It has been shown to be a superb tonic and energizer for those into physical fitness, and a superior tonic for those stuck behind a desk or at a computer terminal for long periodsof time. Consumption of a small amount of Rhodiola extract significantly improves a person’s capacity to absorb and utilize oxygen.

Tibetan Rhodiola is especially beneficial to those who live under stressful conditions. It has been proven that Tibetan Rhodiola reduces the body’s stress reactions, and thus relieves mental stress as well. People stay focused and suffer far less from fatigue even under severe stress. It is the ideal herbal supplement for the modern world.

Tibetan Rhodiola has been found to be extremely beneficial to the cardiovascular system, and has been found to prevent heart disease, the number one cause of death in the United States. It is also a powerful immune modulator, building the immune system into a well tuned fighting machine.

Tibetan Rhodiola also is being used as a powerful and safe antidepressant. It is believed to be more powerful than St. Johns Wort, currently the world’s number one selling natural antidepressant substance.

And Tibetan Rhodiola is a very safe, non-toxic herbal nutrient. It may be consumed daily as a tonic and health maintaining supplement.
