New Warning About Rhodiola Hello, I've suggested Rhodiola on this site some time ago because it's a wonderful adaptogen which reduces stress. Unfortunately, new research suggests that it has strong estrogenic properties so it's use by women who have hormonal problems is not recommended. In terms of adaptogens, avoid Asian ginseng, american ginseng, rhodiola and dong quai because of their estrogenic properties. Instead, go for Siberian ginseng or ashwagandha or schisandra or Jiaogulan. |
