Rhodiola Benefits at a Glance:
Rhodiola rosea, also known as “golden root” or “arctic root,” is an adaptogenic herb that helps improve the body’s ability to adapt and cope with physical, mental, and emotional stressors.
Rhodiola primarily acts on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which helps regulate your stress response. By modulating this system, Rhodiola can help balance cortisol levels and improve overall resilience to stress which has a direct impact on hormone balance.
Studies show Rhodiola has the ability to reduce symptoms of burnout by improving concentration and mental clarity in those with stress-related fatigue.
Why It’s Included
The adaptogenic properties of Rhodiola can help regulate the HPA axis, which the long-term use of hormonal birth control can negatively impact. By supporting adrenal function and regulating stress hormones, Rhodiola may help women experience less discomfort and severity of symptoms that can arise during hormonal fluctuations, including mood swings, anxiety and irritability.
