This lovely harmonic essence is joy in a bottle! It's about surviving, hanging on, coping with harsh or intolerable conditions with good grace. There is a sweetness and beauty to its perseverance.

Rhodiola is wonderful for chronically stressed animals or those dealing with stressful situations, such as traveling, showing, or boarding. In fact, it's particularly good for "performance anxiety" in show animals.

I take Rhodiola myself when stressed. It simply helps me cope. It doesn't cause euphoria or any other altered state. It just takes some of the drama out of the situation, allowing me to feel that "Oh, yeah, I can cope with this."

It makes me smile, feel good, blissful. At the same time, my feet are planted firmly on the ground, rooted in the earth, in fact. This simple, unassuming plant has great personal power.
