Historical
Also known as "pink orpine", "pink rhodiole" or "golden root", the rhodiole owes its Latin name to the subtle smell of rose released by its rhizomes when they are cut. It has been used in traditional Russian and Scandinavian medicine for centuries. The Vikings used it as a tonic, Inuit and Lappers used the leaves for their stimulating effects. Traditional Chinese medicine used various preparations of this plant to increase physical performance, reduce fatigue, against various infections ...

In his book De Materia Medica, Dioscoride, in 77 AD, postponed for the first time medicinal applications of rodia riza. Linnaeus renamed it: Rhodiola rosea by the similarity of the smell of rose released by the freshly cut roots.
In traditional folk medicine rhodiola rosea root is used to improve physical stamina, work productivity, resistance to altitude sickness and fatigue. As well as against depressions, anemia, impotence, infections and disorders of the nervous system.
In Europe, it is traditionally used mainly for external use as antirheumatic. Recent work has shown activity in heart disease but its current craze comes from its adaptogenic and immunostimulant properties particularly studied in Russia and China. Since 1960 more than 180 pharmacological, phytochemical and clinical studies have been published (51% in animals and 94% in humans).

Further information

Standardized Fresh Plant Extracts of R. rosea root have a stimulating effect. Cognitive functions (attention, memory, learning) are increased hence the use recommended to slow memory deficits. Studies show an increase in physical and mental performance. Considering these data, numerous tests were undertaken around 1970 on Russian athletes, tending to prove the beneficial effects of rhodiola on the increase of performances. In humans, in a study involving 53 healthy subjects and 412 with various neurotic disorders, psychostimulant effects were observed with positive action in asthenia.

Anti-fatigue and adaptogenic, the hydro-alcoholic extracts of R. rosea root promotes adaptation and resistance to stress. It promotes attention, intellectual ability and memorization. Double-blind studies have clearly demonstrated this anti-stress effect in students undergoing exams

In one study, the authors show that the hydro-alcoholic extract of roots of Rhodiola rosea L. exerts a powerful anti-depressive activity by inhibiting MAO A and can also find an application in the control of senile dementia, by its action inhibiting MAO B.

In recent studies in mice, the authors have shown that the hydroalcoholic extracts of Rhodiola rosea reduce the signs of nicotine withdrawal (anxiety, somatic signs and locomotor activity).

In addition to its well-known "adaptogenic" activities, Rhodiola is also a cardio-protective and regulator of the heart muscle. It normalizes the heartbeat immediately after intense physical exertion and lengthens the cardiac contraction phase while lowering blood pressure. This effect is probably due to its inhibitory effect on angiotensin (ACE), where the authors show that the alcoholic extracts of Rhodiola rosea have a greater action (38.5%) than the aqueous extracts (36.2%). ).

Rhodiola is also an anti-radical: its antioxidant properties have been the subject of many studies. It inhibits many enzymes (phospholipase A2 - COX-2), has a strong inhibitory activity of xanthine oxidase, xanthine oxidase plays an important role in the absorption of iron in the small intestine and its mobilization in the liver. The reduction of xanthine oxidase activity is associated with a concomitant decrease in iron transport in the blood.

Metabolically, Rhodiola has a hepatic protective effect. The hydroalcoholic extracts normalize the activity of aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and urea and bilirubin peptides. These extracts would promote good blood sugar by acting on insulin levels and correcting pancreatic hypoxia.

Rhodiola rosea is also antiseptic, the root alcoholic extract has an inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The flavonoid fraction extracted from Rhodiola rosea exerts antiviral activity. The root alcoholic extract enhances the activity of the immune system by activating the production of NK (Natural Killers) cells.

If Rhodiola rosea is a plant with multiple effects and is devoid of toxicity, it remains no less true that like all plants, it is a remedy intended to "correct a state" and not a banal plant, "object of trade ". Its unmarked use would lead to a rarefaction of the species, which unfortunately is occurring in some harvesting areas.
