A member asked:
Is rhodiola rosea good for stress and anxiety. i was reading somewhere that there is no scientific evidence supporting the claims by many experts.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly "no" : Rhodiola rosea is an herbal "adaptogen" -- suggesting it can improve adaptation & resilience to stress. At least 1 small pilot study has shown a specific rhodiola extract's [rhodax] usefulness in generalized anxiety d/o: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/18307390?Dopt=abstract existing studies seem contradictory: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/22643043 could be good herb, needing study.
