If you check the Pharmacopoeia, you will find that preventing altitude sickness is only a small part of the efficacy of Rhodiola. Rhodiola sachalinensis is known as a magical medicine and a secret medicine in Tibet, which has incomparable effects with other medicinal materials. Compendium of Materia Medica says it is a rare top-grade panacea among known tonics. Let's take a look at the magical health benefits of Rhodiola.
Rhodiola, a special secret medicine, is a Sedum plant, which grows on the plateau at an altitude of about 2000 meters. Some rhodiola sachalinensis in Tibet can even grow in the alpine zone at an altitude of 4500 meters. These high-altitude places have long-term low temperature and lack of oxygen, strong ultraviolet rays and large temperature difference between day and night. In this harsh environment, only Rhodiola sachalinensis can survive well, showing its strong vitality and adaptability. In addition, the plateau environment is pure and pollution-free, so Rhodiola sachalinensis does not contain other Chinese herbal medicines.
Among the drugs known in the medical field, Rhodiola has the best anti-hypoxia effect. Taking Rhodiola preparation can rapidly increase the number of hemoglobin, significantly enhance the ability of blood to carry and transport oxygen, and significantly improve the oxygen saturation. It is the first choice to supplement blood oxygen and prevent altitude sickness.
The effect of preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is amazing. Rhodiola contains special bioactive components, which can promote the catabolism of cholesterol in blood, reduce blood viscosity and prevent thrombosis. Rhodiola can also soften blood vessels, enhance blood vessel elasticity, and dilate arterioles all over the body. This dual function of dredging and dilating blood vessels makes it show many magical effects in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Anti-oxidation and anti-fatigue Rhodiola has strong anti-oxidation ability, which can reduce the production of free radicals in human cells, so it can quickly relieve fatigue and improve human exercise endurance. In China, astronauts, divers, pilots and other high-intensity workers all regard Rhodiola as a special anti-fatigue drug.
In addition, Rhodiola can also inhibit the growth of cancer cells, with anti-cancer and anticancer effects, and also has significant therapeutic effects on chronic diseases such as diabetes and nephropathy.
