**Your Daily Herbal** Ive talked about ashwagandha and licorice. Now we can move onto Rhodiola. Its another adaptogenic herb meaning that helps the body combat and handle stress better. Rhodiola is a bit more stimulating that ashwagandha (which is used more for the person who is wired but tired or has more nervousness). Rhodiola can help improve energy, endurance and stamina, mood and mental clarity. Its a potent antioxidant (meaning it quenches free radicals which cause aging and can damage cells). I have used it to help those with physical and mental stress and fatigue. It can also help with mood and memory and even help learning. Interestingly enough, it can help with hypoxia (low oxygen) in high altitudes and have helped me adjust to living in the mile-high state! In combination with other herbs it can even help with low libido and menopause. Roar! It is more cooling to neutral in natures, so could be good for people who get overheated or hot-flashes. **NOTE** In certain individuals this can increase anxiety if you are already prone to it. You can buy it in powdered form, capsules, tinctures--singly or in a blend with other herbs. I usually recommend blends of adaptogens and not to take one singly. In the past few days, Ive posted about ashwagandha, licorice and rhodiola. Which do you think fits you best? Would you like to learn more adaptogens? Follow #YDH to make sure you dont miss any!
