As a medicinal plant, Rhodiola rosea has been called the "Nordic Rose". The plant is used to reduce stress, treat depression and fatigue, and treat headaches. Some studies also show that Rhodiola rosea may have a cholesterol-lowering effect and that it should be a good aid in weight loss during dieting.
Furthermore, the plant is said to be able to increase a man's potency and prevent premature ejaculation, as well as give both sexes an increased desire for sex.
