Is Rhodiola The Mrita Sanjeevani of Ramayana?

By

Mrita Sanjeevani of Ramayana was used to cure Lakshmana who was badly hit by a poisoned arrow. Indian scientists now claim that Rhodiola found in the high altitude mountains could be the Mrita Sanjeevani mentioned in the Ramayan.

Scientists claim that Rhodiola can regulate the immunity system and helping in adapting to challenging environmental situations like high altitude.

But what is of great interest is that it can help in people stay protected form harmful radiation especially of nuclear bombs.

Rhodiola is known as Solo in the mountainous Ladakh region, in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Here, the leafy parts of the plant are used as a vegetable. 
Research work from the Leh-based Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR) has shown that the herb holds great potential in helping military troops cope with high altitudes, such as the Siachen glacier, which at 5400 meters (17,700 feet) is the highest battlefield on the planet, where the Indian and Pakistani armies face each other. 
"Rhodiola is a wonder plant that has immunomodulatory (enhancing immune), adaptogenic (adapting to difficult climatic condition), and radio-protecting abilities, due to the presence of secondary metabolites and phytoactive compounds unique to the plant," R.B. Srivastava, director of DIHAR, said. "A concerted effort involving conservation, propagation and sustainable utilisation of this unique medicinal herb will surely result in rediscovery of Sanjeevani for the troops deployed in extreme climatic condition along Himalayan frontiers," added Srivastava. 
The Rhodiola herb can also reduce the effects of gamma radiation used in nuclear bombs.
Other good qualities of the plant include accelerating recovery after strenuous physical activity, enhancing memory, and reducing cardiac stress. 
"Our research reveals its potential for anti-aging, tissue regeneration, protecting neurons during lack of oxygen, and cognitive improvement," said Sunil Hota, who is investigating medicinal properties of the plant at DIHAR. 
"While its adaptogenic qualities can help the soldiers in adjusting to the low pressure/low oxygen environment, the plant has also been found to have anti-depressant and appetizer properties," claims Srivastava.
