Description
Since it helps lower inflammation, this root is wonderful at helping improve mental sharpness and offers other brain benefits as well.
Along with its ability to help lower stress and inflammation, it’s also used to combat fatigue, anxiety and depression.
This adaptogenic herb is approved by the HMPC/EMA for its ability to influence the release of stress hormones as it boosts energy metabolism.
Why We Love Rhodiola, the brain booster
Many of our patients who come in with chronic illnesses have tickborne diseases. The fourth most common symptom of Lyme and co-infections deals with central nervous system issues—brain fog, memory issues, trouble reading, having a hard time finding words, and other word-processing issues—making this a prime herb for those patients.
Rhodiola also helps with energy production, and fatigue is another staple symptom of those dealing with chronic illnesses. It’s beneficial for people dealing with various infections and illnesses, but we especially love using it for those struggling with Bartonella.
