A high-plateau root to support tone and vitality

Sometimes nicknamed the « golden root », Rhodiola crenulata, known in China as Da Hua Hong Jing Tian (大花红景天), grows naturally in the high mountains of the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau, in particularly demanding conditions marked by altitude, cold and low oxygen availability. Present for more than a thousand years in the Chinese and Tibetan traditions, it is traditionally used to tonify the Qi, support Blood circulation and preserve vitality, particularly during periods of fatigue, low energy or intense demand. In TCM, it is associated with the Lung and Heart meridians.

When the Qi runs low and the body has to keep the pace

Qi & vitality

In Chinese medicine, Rhodiola crenulata is traditionally used to tonify the Qi. It accompanies those periods when energy drops, when the body lacks momentum or when the daily pace becomes more demanding.

Blood circulation

Rhodiola crenulata is also associated with supporting Blood circulation according to TCM. It is particularly interesting when fatigue comes with a sensation of slowing down, of heaviness or of lacking drive.

Endurance & physical resistance

Particularly valued during periods of intense demand, Rhodiola crenulata accompanies the body when effort is prolonged or when energy needs increase. It thus helps support vitality and physical resistance through demanding periods.

Are you going through a period of fatigue or low energy?

When the days follow one another, when sleep is no longer enough to bring back your usual energy or when you feel physically less dynamic, Rhodiola crenulata accompanies these periods of low form.

Do you ask a lot of your body?

Regular sport, hiking, sustained physical activity, physical work or particularly long days: it finds its place when effort is prolonged and energy needs increase.

Does your fatigue come with a sensation of slowing down or heaviness?

In TCM, its profile combining Qi and Blood circulation is particularly interesting when the lack of energy comes with a sensation of stagnation, heaviness or lack of drive.

They both belong to the genus Rhodiola, but they are two different botanical species, with distinct natural profiles and traditions of use.

Rhodiola crenulata: the rhodiola of the Chinese tradition

Known in China as Da Hua Hong Jing Tian, it is particularly linked to the high plateaus of Asia and to Chinese medicine. Its traditional use places more emphasis on the Qi, Blood circulation, vitality and periods of intense physical demand.

Rhodiola rosea: the best-known rhodiola in Europe

More widespread in European food supplements, it is above all known as an adaptogenic plant, particularly during periods when stress, physical and mental fatigue and an intense pace combine.

Their composition also differs: Rhodiola crenulata is notably characterised by salidroside, whereas Rhodiola rosea is notably distinguished by its rosavins.
