Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Rhodiola (typically Rhodiola rosea) has a longstanding history of use in traditional medicine systems, especially in Russia, Scandinavia, and other parts of Europe and Asia. Traditionally, Rhodiola has been valued as an adaptogen—a herb that helps the body resist physical, chemical, and biological stressors. In the context of body systems, the "Solar Plexus" is often referenced in holistic and alternative medicine as being connected to personal power, metabolism, and digestive energy (often mapped to the upper abdomen and associated with the digestive organs in energetic frameworks like Ayurveda and chakra systems).

Rhodiola has been used historically to combat fatigue, enhance physical and mental performance, and support resilience to stress. While there is some preliminary scientific evidence supporting its adaptogenic effects, particularly for reducing fatigue and supporting mental performance, there is no direct scientific evidence linking Rhodiola specifically to the "Solar Plexus" body system as conceptualized in holistic traditions. The association between Rhodiola and the Solar Plexus is therefore rooted primarily in traditional and energetic medicine paradigms, not in biomedical research. The overall evidence supporting this specific use is modest and mostly extrapolated from broader traditional uses, thus meriting a rating of 2.
