Herbs with Rosalee

Rhodiola with Robert Rogers + Fresh Roseroot Tincture


Listen Later

It was such an honor to sit down again with Robert Rogers - he’s been working with plants for over fifty years and has such a wealth of knowledge to share!  I was so excited that he chose to discuss rhodiola, a plant that I love to reach for in the cold, dark days of winter. Robert was a key player in getting sustainable sources of the plant to the market many years ago (you’ll hear all about that in our conversation!), and had so much to share about this sweet-smelling herb.

Robert also shared with us his recipe for Fresh Roseroot Tincture (roseroot is another name for rhodiola, because of the sweet fragrance of the medicinal root), and we have a beautifully-illustrated recipe card just for you!  You can download your copy here: https://bit.ly/49lFGRO

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

► Seven reasons you might turn to rhodiola for your health

► Why it’s important to buy rhodiola from sustainable sources (or grow your own!)

► Four tips for growing your own rhodiola, including a fantastic way to propagate the plant after harvesting

► The best time of year for working with rhodiola medicinally

► and so much more…

For those of you who don’t know him, Robert has been an herbalist for over 50 years. He had a clinical practice for 20 years and taught plant and mushroom medicine at college and university level for 26 years. He is the author of over 60 books. Robert’s latest book, Medicinal Lichens: Indigenous Knowledge and Modern Pharmacology, will be released Feb 2025.

Robert is a former clinical professor in family medicine.  He is on the editorial board of the International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms, and is a Fellow of the International College of Nutrition.

I’m delighted to share our conversation with you today!
