Men's health is a complex and delicate topic. Medicines intended exclusively for the stronger sex tend to have an effect on the reproductive system. And this is absolutely true, because even the ancient doctors called the prostate gland the second heart of a man.
What herbs care for men's health? Of course, this is zleuterococcus, parsnip, asparagus, ruta, penny, Salep and Euphorbia fisher, but the king among them is the pink radiola. It is difficult to overestimate the beneficial properties for men of this plant. It was to him that we devoted our review. From the article you will learn how rhodiola is useful, or, as it is also called, the golden root. Medicinal properties and contraindications will be highlighted in separate paragraphs. In addition, we will teach you how to prepare tinctures and decoctions, as well as tell you how to harvest a plant yourself, if you can find it in nature.
Botanical characteristic
Rhodiola rosea - perennial, succulent, belongs to the genus Rhodiola, the family Crassulaceae. The plant is common in areas with cold and temperate cold climates. Rhodiola is not difficult to find out. It grows in a low bush, up to 40 cm, leaves are sessile, alternate, oblong, in the upper part serrate-toothed, closer to the base elliptical. Flowers can be observed in July-August. They are yellow in color and are collected in multi-flowered corymbose inflorescences. Seeds ripen by the end of summer.
Rhizome is the part for which pink radiola is most valued. Useful properties for men are due to the presence of more than 140 useful trace elements and compounds. This plant is most easily recognized by the powerful horizontal rhizome located in the surface layer of the soil, resembling a very tuberous potato. Many thin and long subordinate roots departing from it, extending deep underground. The main root is covered with a cork layer, casting a gold pearl shine with a bronze-pink hue. This property gave him the name "golden root". And the epithet "pink" refers to the aroma of freshly cut root and to the smell of water and alcohol infusions. It resembles a wild rose. The root tastes a bit bitter, with a pronounced astringent effect. We will tell you more about how and when they dig up the pink radiola in the next section.
Rhodiola is successfully grown in Russia in personal plots. It tolerates frosts and low light, but needs a lot of moisture. For this reason, golden root plantations are often found in coastal areas of cold seas.
Harvesting vegetable raw materials
Properly dried raw materials are white and pink, but in no case brown. Harvested roots at the end of the growing season, that is, in late summer - early autumn, when the aerial part of the plant has withered, but has not yet completely died out. The roots are taken out of the ground with a pitchfork, shaken the ground, washed and cut into pieces 4-5 cm in size. Drying is carried out in special electric ovens or on a hot battery. If dried in air, the root will continue to grow, oxidative reactions and beneficial substances, for which this plant is so valued, will go, disappear (this is at best), or even transform into harmful compounds. Usually, the procurers are aware of this and observe the drying technology, and the drugs sold in pharmacies are always correctly assembled, dried and ready for use radiol pink. Useful properties for men have specimens no younger than three years of age. How old is the plant, determined by the number of processes coming from the main root. The second sign that determines the age of Rhodiola is flowering. It is observed only in the third year.
It is easy to grow a new plant from a piece of rhizome with a kidney. It is unpretentious and without transplantation and loss of useful qualities in one place has been growing for decades. The lower part of the root dies, growth occurs in the upper half. For good vegetation, watering and periodic refilling of fresh land is necessary. Every three years, a part of the root with one or two buds is planted in a new place, and the old root is put into processing for medicinal raw materials.
Healing properties
With severe erectile dysfunction, radiol pink is highly recommended for men. The golden root returns masculine power even when impotence has become an insurmountable obstacle to normal relationships. Rhodiola is a powerful tool not only for the treatment of impotence, but also for the prevention of cancer of the male genital organs.
You should not try to replace pink rhodiola with ginseng or another energy-stimulating plant. Very often herbs with universal properties thicken blood. This is good for women, but extremely dangerous for men - it threatens with the same erectile dysfunction.
Another unique property of the plant is the elimination of drug addiction. Tincture of pink radiola helps get rid of alcohol and drug addiction. It significantly reduces tobacco cravings.
During the period of seasonal epidemics of colds, it is recommended to drink a cup of tea every morning with 30 drops of alcohol tincture of the golden root.
Radiola rosea extract, added in small amounts in drinking, stimulates mental and physical activity better than coffee and other fashionable energetics.
Distinctive features of a medicinal plant
A lot of useful substances are found in the stems, flowers and leaves of Rhodiola - these are gallic, oxalic, succinic, malic, coffee, citric, trans-p-hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonoids, coumarins, tannins and hisseptin. However, medicine values root most of all.
Radiola pink, useful properties (for men it is especially important) which are well studied and tested in laboratory animals, depending on the place of growth, varies slightly. Thus, Indian rhodiola contains less geraniol and myrtenol than rhodiola grown in Bulgaria, but Indian is rich in phenylethyl alcohol. The Chinese can boast a large amount of geraniol and octanol, but only in Bulgarian and Russian there is cinnamon alcohol.
To achieve a guaranteed result in the treatment of diseases of the male genital area, it is Siberian pink radiola that is recommended. Where does the golden root grow? Everywhere in Altai, in the Republic of Tuva, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Magadan Region. It is found in North America, Ireland, Great Britain, the Alps, the Carpathians and the Pyrenees.
The chemical composition of the root
The golden root is considered a male plant for a reason. Nature itself filled it with components that have a direct effect on the male genital area. In ancient times, it was noticed that the infusion of the golden root gives men endurance, increases their physical capabilities and protects against diseases.
The main health problems in modern men are associated with increased intellectual and stress loads. Golden root is a natural antidepressant. Salidroside is a unique element contained in the golden root in comparison with other plants in the greatest quantity. It has a neuroprotective effect, reduces and stops the loss of stem cells caused by oxidative processes, in other words, counteracts aging.

Rhodiola rosea contains rhodiolflavonoside and gossipetin, which successfully destroy Staphylococcus aureus and cancer cells that destroy the prostate gland. Rosavid and Golden Root Silidroside are active against gonorrhea bacillus.
Alcohol tincture
Rhodiola alcohol tincture with proper storage has an almost unlimited shelf life. Proper storage is a refrigerator, a compartment for vegetables, where the temperature is maintained in the range from +2 to +7 degrees, and the absence of prolonged natural light.
For 50 grams of root, half a liter of drinking alcohol or vodka is enough. The fresh or dry root of the pink radiola needs to be cut, placed in a bottle of dark glass and filled with vodka. To accelerate the transition of enzymes to an alcoholic solution, heat is required, +20 ... +30 degrees. When these conditions are created, in two weeks the tincture will be ready. Then it must be filtered and you can drink. The daily dose is three doses of 20-30 drops half an hour before meals and at least 4-5 hours before bedtime.
Golden Root Extract
The extract is a more concentrated version of the alcohol tincture. It is made by weight in a ratio of 1: 1. It is infused in the same way as alcohol tincture, but is used in smaller quantities - 10 drops twice a day.
Pharmacies sell alcoholic extracts and tinctures that contain pink radiola. Instructions for their use are usually attached, if not, the pharmacist or pharmacist will always give qualified advice. All types of infusions with a golden root are sold without a prescription.
Water decoction
If possible, it is better to acquire dry or fresh roots of Rhodiola. From them you can make not only a highly concentrated alcohol solution, but also a water infusion that you can drink instead of tea.
For the broth, one full teaspoon of the crushed root is poured with boiling water and steamed in a water bath for 10-15 minutes, then wrapped in a warm cap and insisted for three quarters of an hour. It is supposed to drink in the morning for 1-2 glasses.
The question of how to drink pink radio is by no means an idle one. The properties of the root to tone up, stimulate the nervous system and accelerate intracellular metabolism can play a trick on the patient if he starts taking rhodiola preparations at night, when the body requires rest.
For greater benefit, a golden root drink is best consumed with honey.
