Nature's Sunshine Rhodiola Relax 60 Capsules Rhodiola Relax (was Stress Adapt) combines three herbs with adaptogenic properties: Rhodiola, Withania and Gotu kola that may assist the mind and body’s ability to deal with and perform better when stressed. Rhodiola or Golden root is found growing in the Sub-Arctic regions of Russia, Scandinavia and Middle Asia where it has a long tradition of use as an adaptogenic herb to improve general wellbeing. Rhodiola has the dual properties of physically assisting with improved energy and stamina levels whilst enhancing mental alertness and concentration during times of extra demand particularly in the work environment. Rhodiola may also help relieve the mild anxiety and fatigue associated with stressful conditions. Withania and Gotu kola are well known in the Indian Ayurvedic medicine tradition as nervous system restorative herbs, or Medhya Rasayanas herbs or nutritional substances that are specific to the brain tissues. These nervous system tonic herbs are beneficial for improving general vitality and wellbeing, enhancing mental calmness and aiding memory and cognition during periods of stress or increased demand. What does the word ADAPTOGEN mean? An adaptogenic substance or herb is one that demonstrates a non-specific (organ or tissue) enhancement to the body’s ability to resist or cope more effectively with various stressors (physical, environmental, emotional). Herbs with adaptogenic properties are considered to have a normalising or general tonifying influence on the body; they neither over-stimulate nor inhibit normal body functions. Therapeutic Use Rhodiola is a traditional adaptogenic herb used in Russia, Scandinavia and Middle Asia where it has been used to help improve stress adaptation. Rhodiola rosea may help support energy levels and help promote physical stamina and performance during stressful conditions and stress related fatigue. Rhodiola may assist in the relief of mild anxiety associated with stressful conditions. Rhodiola may help improve concentration when there is a decline in the capacity for concentration in the work place during periods of extra demand. Withania has traditionally been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a nervine tonic or sedative herb to aid relaxation and to help improve general wellbeing and vitality during times of fatigue. Gotu kola has a tradition of use in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine as a nervous system tonic herb to use during times of increased physical or mental demand. In Indian Ayurvedic medicine Gotu kola has traditionally been used in the older population to assist with mental calmness and clarity.
