Rhodiola rosea (syn Sedum roseum, S. rhodiola, Hong Jing Tian, red-spotted stonecrop, rose root, golden root or arctic root) is a short (under 30 cm) crassula that grows in high altitudes of the northern latitudes. It is found in Tibet, China, northern Europe, Russia, Scandinavia, Lapland, and in the Americas from Alaska to the Rocky mountains (zones 2-9). Flowers are green, pink, purple and yellow. Tibet has 32 kinds of rhodiola and Sichuan 22, but the R. rosea is the primary species with known adaptogenic properties.). Warm and slightly astringent. Used to promote the circulation of qi, removing blood stasis, and invigorate the circulation of blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
