Rhodiola has effects on the hormone cortisol. While most NDs and manufacturers claim rhodiola "normalizes" cortisol, what it actually does in science is "lower" cortisol. Good if yours is too high, bad if it is low.

What is a sign of low cortisol? Strange things in the pupils. For example, one larger than the other. Or with a bright light, they go small, then get larger again, and then begin to pulsate. Or they don't respond hardly at all. I'm not sure what doctors look for when they put that bright light in our pupils, but I do know there are noradrenaline/cortisol clues there. My doctor did this test with me and explained it to me.

Anyway, just for grins I thought I would throw the rhodiola/cortisol connection out there for pondering.
