Rhodiola Tincture (1 : 4)

Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) tincture made from the roots

What is Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea)?

The fragrant medicinal plant with its melodious name had long fallen into obscurity in Central Europe, even though Rhodiola already played an important role here in the 17th century.

Rhodiola rosea, from the Crassulaceae family, is mainly found in arctic regions and the mountain ranges of Eurasia. The small plant, with a maximum height of 35 cm, is easily recognized as a succulent due to its characteristic leaves. Its tiny clustered flowers exude a delightful fragrance that highlights its botanical kinship. Not only the flowers please our senses – when cut, both the roots and above-ground stems release a rose-like scent. This is also the origin of the plant’s name “rose root.”

For the production of our tinctures, we rely on the traditional knowledge of Nordic folk medicine and use only finely ground roots. These are largely sourced from wild collections in Russia. However, we strive to obtain all raw materials from controlled cultivation in order to protect the wild Rhodiola population. Because for us, not only your well-being but also the health of our planet is important.

The forgotten adaptogen

In Scandinavia as well as in Russia, Rhodiola has long been considered an exceptional adaptogen. Adaptogens are plants that gently yet sustainably influence the body’s stress response and help the organism develop better stress tolerance. In Siberia, Rhodiola is referred to as the “golden root,” underscoring its high importance. In Nordic folk medicine, the herb has been used to enhance concentration and memory performance and is also said to be helpful for vitality and potency concerns.

The indigenous people of the Altai region also valued Rhodiola highly, using it especially for persistent fatigue, weakness, and to support mental and physical strength.

This knowledge was also present in German-speaking regions. Rhodiola already appears in Leonhard Fuchs’ herbal book as an important tonic and trusted remedy for headaches.

Rhodiola contains valuable compounds such as phenolic glycosides (e.g. salidroside and rosavin, tyrosol), phytamines, tannins, flavonoids, organic acids, phytosterols, polysaccharides, and essential oils.
