Rhodiola: for depression and stress relief: I've been taking 100mg a day 1/2hr before meals for about 3wks nor hoping to relieve nerve tension my nerves are bad. I'm 43 yrs old. I consider myself to be a healthy individual I have posterial tremors in (nerve shaking in hands and legs) as well as mild depression and stress. The only other only herbal supplements I take are calcium, vitamin D. The only changes I've noticed with taking rhodiola is my sleep pattern. It helps me wake up in the morning without feeling so tired. I don't have trouble sleeping. I fall asleep easily but hard for me to wake up in the morning without feeling if I haven't gotten enough sleep even though I have. That's the only noticeable change I've felt. I need something to calm my nereves I feel anxious at times and jittery. What would you recommend?

I would give Holy Basil, valerian root, and 5HTP a try. They have helped me with depression and somewhat with anxiety. For the anxiety you may want to try EFT (emotional freedom technique). Lots of youtube videos on using EFT for anxiety. EFT got me through some really bad anxiety and I felt a huge difference after just 10min of doing EFT.

Hi Craig, I have always benefited from Chinese herbs so am a big advocate of them. I use Ron Teeguarden's Chinese herbs because I have such faith in his ethics and he is so passionate about his work. I have had the great fortune of hearing him speak a few times and his knowledge is absolutely remarkable. I have even been able to speak with him for personal advice regarding my health. His site also offers a lot of valuable information.

He goes back and forth between here and China often to check on his plants, herbs and sources. So, though he uses Wild Tibetan Rhodiola which is mentioned in the section you are referring to, I have no doubts of the quality he offers. I use his 8 Immortals formula which has this in it but my results are amazing. I have so much energy and find I wake up easily at about 5:45am after using this now on a regular basis. You might want to check it out. I will add the link to the actual Formula I take but, you will then be on his site.

He offers other formulas as well with this as an ingredient but it is not offered alone. Often in Chinese medicine, you will find that combinations are superior as the formulas have key and supporting players.

I hope this helps, Lisa

I'm also trying to find Siberian Rhodiola, the root, not a tincture or pills. I'm looking for the root in chopped rather than powdered form. I have not been able to find it online. Anyone have any ideas? If you want a tincture with both alcohol and glycerine, Herb Pharm makes one with Siberian hand-picked rhodiola rosea.

Pertaining to the following paragraph:

You should buy only Rhodiola of Russian origin with key active components of Rosavin, Rosarin and Rosin. Be careful -- in the USA, Rhodiola rosea formulas sold as "Tibetan" Rhodiola or Chinese Rhodiola contain no active components. These formulas lack the key ingredient Rosavins while they are high in Salidroside. Supposedly, only Rhodiola from West and North Siberia contains the critical components of Rosavin, Rosarin and Salidroside.

What are the names of the Russian products and where can they be purchased?

I was told a couple of years ago the company who produces FSC Rhodiola Root, went bankrupt, but I figured this was because not enough people were talking about because they wanted to keep it a secret (it was that good). I found it on a website last night and immediately bought even though I'm unsure whether the tablets will be regulated? I'm so despurate for a good rhodiola root that makes me feel rumbustious. I am naturally suffer from anxiety attacks and mild depression because of this issue. I just want more from life and embrace it.

Please can you help me out with a regulated UK brand and let me know whether I should trust this website selling the FSC rhodiola root?

Viridian is a trusted UK brand. Go for the high potency 150 Rhodolia Rosea. I don't usually get on with herbs but this works and is amazing..... , hope it helps you
