Many people find rhodiola to be an excellent anti-anxiety herb. It is also good for depression. One of the wonderful things about this herb is that like ashwagandha, it does not make you feel drowsy. It is an adaptogenic herb helping our system find equilibrium during whatever life should throw at us.
Rhodiola reduces the fight or flight hormone cortisol in the body, whilst stimulating dopamine and serotonin (the feel-good hormones). The dosage of rhodiola is important… because it can also induce stamina and help with energy levels (which may or may not be desired), so be sure to follow recommended instructions and don’t over-do. Powerful in the correct amount.
