Rhodiola Rosea<\/strong><\/em>, also known as golden root or roseroot, is a wild herb widely known for its medicinal properties, including being a natural antidepressant.<\/p>\n

Roseroot<\/strong><\/a> has green flowers and grows in cold regions of the world, including the Arctic and mountainous parts of Europe. It was initially introduced in prehistoric <\/em>Siberia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the Bronze Age roseroot was transferred from Georgia to Greece through the Aegean Sea and<\/em> was first mentioned in ancient Greek physician Dioscorides’ medical text “De Materia Medica”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

People had been using Rhodiola Rosea for over 3.000 years and benefiting from its properties.<\/h2>\n

The Vikings were seeking physical strength and endurance in it,<\/em> Chinese emperors used it for medicinal preparations, while the people of central Asia considered it as the most effective treatment for cold and flu<\/a>. It has been commonly used in traditional European folk medicine, too. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Siberians used to trade it for wine, fruit and honey. Today, they still think very highly of it. Newlyweds are offered roseroot in order to increase fertility<\/strong> and assure the birth of healthy children.<\/p>\n

In fact, there are some Siberians, who are very strict about sharing information about the location, where this wild root grows.<\/p>\n

Today, roseroot has undoubtedly a prominent place in the everyday life of people in Eastern Europe and Asia, where it is widely accepted as highly efficacious in work performance enhancement<\/strong>, nervous system stimulation<\/strong>, high-altitude illness prevention and fatigue relief.<\/p>\n

Based on the experience of people who have been using it for decades, drinking roseroot tea<\/em> <\/strong>helps people live longer<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The antidepressant effects of roseroot<\/h3>\n

More than 50 years have passed since the first research was conducted on the medical properties of roseroot. According to recent research<\/a>, this ancient herb may also be efficacious in alleviating mild to moderate depression<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Today, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania<\/strong> have reached the conclusion that roseroot has less <\/strong>aggravating side effects<\/strong> compared to those of the modern depression control drugs, which makes this natural herb more receptive to the patients<\/strong>, many of whom stop using antidepressants due to their strong side effects.<\/p>\n

What’s impressive is that roseroot has half the side effects of conventional antidepressants, <\/strong>while it is almost as effective. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Studies have been made, which support that roseroot can reduce some depression symptoms as well as fatigue<\/strong>. Taking into consideration that 70% of depression patients do not properly respond to the initial therapy, the results are extremely encouraging.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, these results are only preliminary, and further research has to be conducted before reaching a definite conclusion. Nevertheless, what scientists are certain of, is that roseroot is a priceless<\/em><\/strong> natural herb<\/em><\/strong> with a lot of potential.<\/p>\n

Research teams are already conducting extensive research on its efficacy on depression<\/a><\/strong>, the mental illness that affects millions of people around the world. This ancient remedy is gradually being recognized and appreciated by scientists worldwide, claiming the position of conventional medicine.<\/p>\n
