Rhodiola quadrifida (Rhodiola quadripartite) belongs to the jumbo family. The plant has a lot of other names - four-membered rhodiola, frosty, four-incised, red root. It is often called Siberian ginseng. It is endemic to such areas as the Altai Territory and the Angara-Sayan region. It grows near water sources, on rocky slopes.

Attention! This plant is listed in the Red Book as a rare and endangered species.

If you had a chance to see with your own eyes the four-part Rhodiola, perhaps you would not even pay much attention to it. The herbaceous perennial does not have an outstanding appearance, and its small growth (8-20 cm) covers modest bushes among the taller growth.

This complicates the extraction of valuable raw materials - the root of the plant. It has a lot of branches and a pleasant aroma. Like most plants of the family Rhodiola frosty, frosty Rhodiola has a caudex - a lignified stem, consisting of many layers of dead stems. On it there are many thin straight stems, densely covered with lanceolate leaves. They look like small fleshy needles curved upward. The leaf is about 2 cm long and 3 mm wide. Succulent leaves will certainly begin to crumble from a careless touch.

The flower petals range in color from cream to dark red. The perianth is red, the flowers are dioecious. They are collected in the corymbose inflorescence. Flowering occurs in June-July, after which the seeds begin to ripen.

The collection of rhizomes is carried out precisely in this short period of time: after the end of flowering and before the seeds ripen. A lot of them are formed in the fruit, which looks like an elongated straight leaflet. The prepared raw materials are thoroughly dried in a dark ventilated area. It retains its healing properties for two years.

It is interesting! Like all succulents, Rhodiola quadrifida accumulates water in its green leaves. She consumes it with the onset of unfavorable, arid conditions, which occur quite often in the mountains.

The chemical composition of the plant

The incredible adaptability to survival in the harsh mountainous terrain has endowed Rhodiola with the frosty ability to accumulate nutrients in its rhizome. It contains the following substances:

1. Anthraglycosides. These substances stimulate the peristalsis of the intestinal tract, have an antimicrobial effect. Most of all, in this group of substances, salidroside is released, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and oncoprotective properties. Scientists are developing experimental cancer drugs based on salidroside. It slows down oxidative processes in cells and protects them from premature aging, is a powerful adaptogen.
2. Essential oils. Possess bactericidal, immunomodulatory, analgesic and sedative properties.
3. Phenols. These chemical compounds affect the permeability of the vessel walls, which will save you from fixing cholesterol plaques. They have anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties.
4. Organic acids. They are responsible for the synthesis of blood cells, participate in metabolism, break down fats. Helps remove free radicals and toxins, strengthens the immune system.
5. Sterols. They regulate the work of the cardiovascular system, protect against autoimmune reactions.
6. Tannins and waxes. They have an anti-inflammatory, astringent, wound healing effect.
7. Flavonoids. A powerful antioxidant. Helps in the fight against the toxic effects of various substances. It has a beneficial effect on all body systems - digestive, cardiovascular, nervous, reproductive, immune, endocrine.
8. Phytohormones. They regulate hormonal levels, lower blood pressure, restore reproductive function, and regulate the adrenal glands.
9. Betaines. They provide protection against stress, are hepatoprotective, increase joint mobility by reducing the viscosity of the synovium.

Know! Indigenous Altaians claim that the healing power of Rhodiola fourfold can help even a seriously ill person.

In addition to biologically active substances, the rhizome is rich in microelements:

1. Zinc. Regulates the work of the reproductive system of men and women. Stimulates brain activity. Participates in the metabolism at the cellular level. Responsible for the development of bone tissue and insulin synthesis.
2. Nickel. Responsible for protein metabolism and synthesis of DNA molecules. Regulates prolactin levels.
3. Manganese. Participates in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, insulin production. Stimulates the production of blood cells. Restores the female reproductive system.
4. Cobalt. A powerful antioxidant that promotes the production of antibodies and blood cells.
5. Selenium. Cancer protector and immunomodulator. Responsible for the work of sex hormones. In women, it reduces the manifestations of menopause, in men it increases sperm motility.
6. Chromium. Responsible for carbohydrate metabolism. Helps fight diabetes by lowering blood glucose levels. Eliminates cholesterol plaques, helps lower blood pressure.
7. Copper. Responsible for the synthesis of hemoglobin, increasing resistance to oxygen starvation. Has oncoprotective, immunostimulating action.
8. Molybdenum. Participates in carbohydrate and fat metabolism, stimulates cell growth. Responsible for the exchange of iron in liver cells.

Know! In addition to all the listed components, the red brush contains a high molecular weight carbohydrate - gum. It removes toxins from the body and reduces the side effects of antibiotics.

However, traditional medicine does not make large contributions to the study of the properties of this unique plant. This is explained quite simply: the red brush has a narrow growing area, and the extraction of medicinal raw materials is fraught with some difficulties. After removing the root, the plant will die, making it irrelevant for large-scale production.

Scientists from China do not give up their attempts to industrial cultivation of a medicinal endemic. Together with Poles and Germans, they are conducting experiments to develop a real panacea - a cure for cancer.

As for the myths regarding the use of the plant - they simply do not exist. But there is a beautiful Altai legend about its origin: “In ancient times, one shaman was engaged in healing seriously ill people. One day he had a dream that was destined to come true. He watched a wonderful butterfly, which he had not seen in his life. Its flight ended at a strange flower, similar to a brush with a red head. He felt an unprecedented surge of strength and felt the healing properties of this plant.

Having awakened, the doctor repeated his wanderings in reality and found an unknown bush. He extracted its root, which, in the process of washing in a mountain stream, dyed the water in a scarlet color. So the shaman came up with a name for a new medicinal plant - a red brush ”.
