Rhodiola | Organic

Rhodiola rosea is one of 90 rhodiola species and has been utilized for thousands of years throughout Europe and Asia. Due to its popularity worldwide, overharvesting of wild rhodiola populations has become a threat. We support farm partners who organically cultivate rhodiola root to help ensure the future sustainability of the plant. The floral-scented, purple-hued root is typically steeped as rhodiola tea, blended into herbal infusions, and tinctured. Rhodiola promotes a healthy response to stress and supports adrenal functioning. This adaptogenic herb has been used as folk medicine to boost the stamina of Olympic athletes and was even taken by cosmonauts to support physical and mental performance. Sweet and slightly bitter taste. Energetically cold to slightly warm. Its flavor is sweet and bitter, and energetically it is believed to be a cold herb. However, it is sometimes listed as 'slightly warm,' and some deliberation on this is most likely related to the variance in species similar to the variance in the energetics of various types of ginseng. Rhodiola also goes by the names of Arctic rose, golden root, king’s crown, roseroot, rosewort, and snowdown rose. Sold by the ounce. ✩ All online orders are packed in sanitized & upcycled containers.
