History and Uses:
Golden Root is native to the mountainous regions of Asia, Europe and the Arctic, and is most abundant in Siberia.  The species name, rosea, is said to come from the fact that the herb's cut root has a rose-like fragrance.  Golden Root has been used in traditional medicine to combat fatigue, depression, anemia, impotence, infections and many other ailments.  In Central Asia, Golden Root was prescribed for tuberculosis, malignant diseases and influenza.  In Siberia, Golden Root was given to married couples to increase fertility and provide healthy children.  The Vikings used Golden Root to improve endurance and enhance physical strength.  In Germany, Golden Root has been used for pain, headache, hemorrhoids and as an anti-inflammatory.  In recent times, Golden Root has been the subject of numerous studies in Scandinavia and the former Soviet Union, where it has been favorably compared to Siberian Ginseng.  Those studies have demonstrated that it is effective in improving cognitive function, improving the immune system, enhancing athletic performance, promoting weight loss and relieving stress.  Golden Root is also thought to have aphrodisiac properties and has been used to treat premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.  The herb is considered an adaptogen and is believed to boost energy levels without the adverse effects of other stimulants.  Golden Root is now being studied for its positive attributes in fighting symptoms of depression, Parkinson's disease, ADD and fibromyalgia.
