Energy lift for shift-worker, with Viridian Rhodiola rosea, 6th Oct 2008

Reviewer: Julie Goodwin

After years of enduring variable shift patterns as a long distance lorry driver, Eric Anderson, aged 42, found it had left him feeling severely lacking in get-up-and-go and emotionally low bordering on depression. “My get-up-and-go had definitely got-up-and-gone,” said Eric. “For the past year, I just went to work, came home and went to sleep. My social life was totally non-existent.” One night on a journey back to London from Newcastle, Eric had to stop four times for cat-naps, making him more than one hour late on his journey. “You have to be able to explain every minute of your trip when you are a lorry driver,” he explained. “I knew that night that if I didn’t get some help, I was either going to have a serious accident or I was going to lose my job.” He’d read about a herb called Rhodiola in the Daily Mail some months before, but couldn’t remember the details so he went into his local health food store. They explained that Rhodiola would be useful to him for energy, stamina and mood elevation. The store also suggested a supplement of the B complex vitamins to address any nutritional deficiencies. The primary organs in the body responsible for dealing with the effects of stress are the adrenal glands, which are situated just above the kidneys. If we are having to deal with chronic, on-going stress the adrenal glands eventually become exhausted and unable to produce sufficient amounts of the stress-reducing hormones adrenaline and cortisol. Shift patterns, especially those including night shifts, excessive exposure to pollution (traffic fumes) and long-term stress (deadlines and driving) had brought Eric’s adrenal system into overload. Researched in Russia since the 1930s, Rhodiola, is the king of all stress-busting herbs and researchers have found Rhodiola to go above and beyond ginseng in its scope and activity. Rhodiola, a native herb of Siberia, has been shown to enhance the systems that regulate stress and help the body maintain fuel reserves to cope. It is

Nature's Viagra revitalised my relationship, 6th Oct 2008

Natures Viagra revitalised my relationship. At the age of 36, having suffered three strokes in six years, Michael Tetterington was forced to retire from his job as a fire-fighter. Leaving the job he loved caused Michael considerable sadness, which eventually led to a significant problem with depression. Low in self-esteem and feeling without purpose , Michael from St Annes in Lancashire , began to experience problems with his energy and vitality and his libido was severely affected too. He was prescribed an anti-depressant and Viagra but did not feel that these helped him. Four months ago, Michael discovered in his local health food store a little know supplement famed in the former Soviet Union for it’s anti-depressant and revitalising properties. Michael feels that taking this natural remedy has made an incredible difference to his overall health and at the age of 41, he professes to feel “better that ever before”. The chief organs in the body responsible for dealing with stress are the adrenal glands, which sit on the top of the kidneys. When we are taxed, either physically or emotionally, they secrete hormones such as adrenalin and cortisol, which helps the body adapt to and deal with what ever is challenging it. If stress is prolonged, the adrenal glands can in time weaken, causing symptoms such as fatigue and depression. Michaels physical and mental health had been in steady decline since his enforced retirement. He said “ My spirits were low and I just didn’t seem to have any energy. Even my sexual appetite took a significant downturn and this put a great strain on my relationship”. In natural medicine , there exsists a number of well known botanical agents, such as ginseng, which can help the body cope with and adapt to long-term stress. A less well know but very useful agent in this respect is the herb Rhodiola Rosea (also known as Artic root). The herb grows in Siberia and contains a large range of chemicals, which can help resist stress. It is often an ef
