What is Rhodiola?
Rhodiola is a medicinal plant mainly found in icy lands and high mountains of 3500 - 5000 meters above sea level in many parts of Russia and China.
However, the best Rhodiola species is from the Himalayas, mainly along the Tibet border. This is also the place where the famous Chinese athletics coach Ma Junren trains his long-distance runners before major championships such as the Olympic games. Mr Ma believes that at high altitudes oxygen is scarce and the lung capacity of the runners is stretched and enhanced by vigorous exercise.
The plant stores lots of nutrients and bioactive substances in its roots and rhizomes to counter the following natural harsh environment:
1) Low oxygen level due to the high altitude.
2) Radioactive waves from the sun
A traditional remedy of Tibet, Rhodiola is recorded in the Tibetan pharmacopoeia "The Four Medical Dictionaries" with more than 1000 years of history. In "The Compilation of Materia Medica" (Ben Cao Gang Mu) written by Li Shi-zhen, a revered Chinese physician in Ming Dynasty, Rhodiola is regarded as a top grade medicinal herb. It also has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for many centuries.
Due to its precious medicinal values, it's often referred as "plateau ginseng" or "gold plant" in different parts of the world.
Rhodiola's Glories in Traditional Chinese Medicine
During Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kang Xi had ruled China for 61 years with rapid developments. Kang Xi had used Rhodila to maintain his superb health and vitality throughout his life, and for his soldiers to prevent fatigue and boost the soldiers' strengths in winning their fights against enemies. Kang Xi had named Rhodiola as "Xian Chi Cao", meaning "A Gifted Plant from God"
Emperor Qian Long, Kang Xi's grandson, also took Rhodiola as his main food supplement. Qian Long had ruled China for 60 years and contributed a lot towards the development of China.
Contributions of Rhodiola Towards China's Swimmers
In year 2000, swimmers from People's Republic of China had made significant achievements in the World Swimming Championship in Australia. Apparently, Rhodiola contributed to their fitness and endurance.
Rhodiola was used as a long-term food supplement for all Chinese swimmers. According to the medical experts, Rhodiola could enhance the respiratory and cardiovascular systems and increase energy levels in the body.
Russian Researchers Confirmed the Goodness of Rhodiola
Rhodiola came to worldwide attention 30 years ago when Russian researchers listed it among the new class of herbal drugs called adaptogens (i.e. natural plant substances that increase the body's non-specific resistance, normalize the functions of the body and are very safe).
The Russian researchers discovered that Rhodiola have beneficial effects on radiation, anoxia (lack of oxygen), fatigue, senility and toxins. Rhodiola has since been widely used by Russians in sports, military and aerospace medicines to enhance endurance and performance.
