Rhodiola rosea, commonly known as golden root or Arctic root, is a perennial plant native to cold regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. Belonging to the Crassulaceae family, it is recognised for its thick, fleshy rhizomes and yellow-green flowers. Historically, Rhodiola Rhizome has been used in traditional herbal practices across Scandinavia, Russia, and the Himalayan regions, valued for its aromatic and warming properties.
The rhizomes are typically harvested during the late autumn or early spring when the plant’s active constituents are concentrated. Once collected, they are gently cleaned, cut, and dried to preserve their natural qualities, ensuring consistency and suitability for various herbal preparations.
Rhodiola Rhizome has a long history of use in traditional herbal practices, particularly in cold climates of Europe and Asia. Historically, it was used to support overall vitality and endurance in challenging environments. In traditional practices, the rhizome was included in herbal decoctions, teas, and infusions, often combined with other roots and barks to create warming and aromatic blends.
Its aromatic and slightly bitter flavour made it compatible with a range of herbal preparations, contributing both sensory and traditional value. Over time, Rhodiola Rhizome became a valued botanical in Scandinavian, Russian, and Himalayan herbal medicine, recognised for its distinctive character and versatility in herbal applications.
Rhodiola Rhizome is best suited for preparation methods designed for dense and fibrous plant materials. Quick infusions are generally insufficient to extract its characteristic aroma and flavour, so longer extraction times are recommended.
Common preparation approaches include:
Decoctions by gently simmering the rhizome in water for 15–30 minutes.
Extended soaking followed by brief heating to release its aroma and flavour.
Blended preparations with other roots and rhizomes for more complex herbal infusions.
When prepared correctly, the rhizome imparts a warming, aromatic character to the liquid, producing a rich, earthy, and slightly bitter herbal beverage.
Ingredients:
Preparation Method:
Place the rhizome pieces into a cup or teapot. Pour freshly boiled water over the herb, cover, and allow to infuse for 10–15 minutes. Strain before drinking. The infusion develops a lighter body than a decoction, with a gentle woody aroma, faint floral undertones, and a clean, mildly bitter finish.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon Rhodiola Rhizome
250 ml water
Preparation Method:
Place the rhizome pieces in a small saucepan with water. Simmer gently for 15–20 minutes to extract the natural aroma and flavour. Strain before drinking. The decoction will have a warm, earthy aroma with subtle floral notes and a mild, slightly bitter taste.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon Rhodiola Rhizome
½ teaspoon dried Ginger Root
250 ml water
Preparation Method:
Combine the rhizome and ginger root in a teapot or saucepan. Pour hot water over them and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Strain before drinking. This blend combines the warming, aromatic qualities of Rhodiola with the spiciness of ginger, creating a balanced and fragrant herbal infusion.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon Rhodiola Rhizome
½ teaspoon Licorice Root
250 ml water
Preparation Method:
Place the rhizome and licorice root in a teapot. Pour freshly boiled water over the mixture and allow it to steep for 15–20 minutes. Strain before drinking. The infusion has a naturally sweet undertone from licorice that complements the aromatic bitterness of Rhodiola, producing a smooth and flavorful beverage.
