Amazing Herb For Anxiety And Depression Posted: 10-15-06 14:05pm
Rhodiola rosea, is not the first herb you
would think of, with medicinal properties,
just look at this:
stimulates the immune system
reduce stress
helps depression
anti ageing properties
rhodiola rosea stimulates the immune
system in two ways: first - by specific
direct stimulation of immune defence
(stimulates one of the most important type
of immune cells - natural killer cells,
nk-cells seek and destroy the infected
cells on our bodies). Rhodiola rosea
normalises the immune system by improving
t-cell immunity (7) rhodiola has been
shown to increase the body's resistance to
toxins that may accumulate during
infection development. Second - by
making a person less susceptible to
stress. Scientists found out that
stress suppresses immunity and destroys
our resistance to various forms of
bacterial or virus attack. Due to the
natural killer cell's effect on tumours
rhodiola rosea may enhance b cell immunity
by preventing the suppression of b cell
immunity, which can occur during stress.
Being under stress, a great portion of
the body's energy is expended for nothing.
When we are chronically exposed to
stress that continually robs energy from
other systems. The general effect is a
lowered immune response and decreased
health.
For whom rhodiola rosea
rhodiola has been used in connection with
fatigue, mental performance and athletic
performance (to improve endurance). The
russian medicine has traditionally given
rhodiola rosea to its cosmonauts,

leaders as an effective anti-aging
medicine. Russian rhodiola helped them
to improve cognitive functions and
physical performance.
