The
Wonders of the Rhaponticum Carthamoides (Maral Root)
Rhaponticum carthamoides
(Maral Root) is cultivated in Russia and Eastern Europe and grows
in Southern Siberia, Western Sayani and Kazakhstan. Known commonly
by the name maral root, Rhaponticum carthamoides is believed to
have an effect on a person’s memory, learning intake, energy
and more. This herbaceous perennial plant is considered an adaptogen,
which is thought to help a person cope better with fatigue, stress
and anxiety.
The Rhaponticum carthamoides (Maral Root) has florets of pink, violet
and sometimes white. Its fruits are brown. Rhaponticum carthamoides
is known as maral root because in 1879, Russian explorer G.N. Potanin
traveled to northwestern Mongolia where he noted that marals, which
are Asiatic red deer, were digging out and eating Rhaponticum carthamoides.
Rhaponticum carthamoides (Maral Root) has been used in Tibetan medicine
for pulmonary and kidney diseases, and since 1961 people have been
using it to alleviate nervous system disorders. The root is rich
in insulin, fatty oils, vitamin C, alkaloids and more. Contact your
doctor before taking this root. Although Rhaponticum carthamoides
(Maral Root) is an adaptogen that works well with a person’s
memory and energy, there are other adaptogens that can also help
with your cardiovascular system, metabolism and beyond.
