RHODIOLA ROOT, TIBETAN Rhodiola kirilowii  
Similar to Rhodiola rosea, this is one of the sacred herbs of Tibet, used as a vitalizing tonic and supreme medicine since the beginning of the Tibetan civilization. Believed to enhance wisdom and prolong life, it is said Tibetan monks made use of the root to fuel their "spiritual power." It is thought that this high altitude herb played a significant role in the evolution of Tibetan culture. Traditionally utilized in many of the same ways as Rhodiola rosea,  it is also a specific for lung disease and mixed with Lycii (Goji) Berries and Hippophae (Sea Buckthorn) fruit as a supreme preventative and treatment for altitude sickness. Modern studies are few compared to R. rosea, the phytochemistry is a little different, yet its value as a powerful adaptogen and energizing psychic stimulant cannot be questioned.
