So you’re in the field of accurate Rhodiola rosea dosing? This little miracle plant has cast a spell on many with stress relief reports and increase energy. The real question is capacity? Settle in because we are about to plunge into this interesting mix.
Picture yourself in a huge library of herbal knowledge, and Rhodiola is the book you’ve been eager to open. One part is full of tales of awesome Viking strength and power. But reading this story involves just the right touch of light.
Rhodiola’s properties are like seasoning; they are a variety. Too little leaves you wanting; too much overpowers everything. For beginners, most guides suggest 100-200 mg/day. Are you more adrenaline driven? Some have gone up to 600 mg daily, especially on those roller-coaster coasters we all seem to encounter once in a while. Be brave and add that level of exact measure of Rhodiola!
Ever heard of those people who are ‘morning people’? Rhodiola is probably the equivalent of that double shot espresso in the morning. She found her sweet spot in 300 mg over a tough semester. Like giving herself an extra hour, every day! But remember Rhodiola is like a cat; it has a living, breathing mind of its own and will interact with you and only you – uniquely.
Now we turn our attention to timing. Rhodiola loves the fun and excitement of mornings. Excuse yourself and your sanity for some time if you try this later than dinner time and end up cleaning the attic at 3 am. To get a clear view, give it two weeks. Or in other words, be just a bit patient and let it work its magic.
An anecdotal side bar: my old bud Tony, tried this thing Rhodiola with twelve expressos once. don’t ask: If you want to be all funky and try something wild, make friends with your doctor! They key-word here is caution yes.
Rhodiola rosea is quite the interesting stitch in the grand, french fabric of herbal remedies. It is a careful and delicate waltz. Listen to the quiet voices of your body and walk this path thoughtfully. Some find it to a road worth taking. Come along.
