1. Do I need to take rhodiola before going to Xinjiang or Tibet? Although rhodiola is considered to have the effect of relieving altitude sickness, not everyone needs to take it at altitude. If you have a good adaptability to the plateau environment and only stay for a short time, you may not need to take rhodiola. However, if you expect to be active at high altitude for a long time, or you are worried that you may be easily affected by altitude sickness, it may be a good choice to consult a doctor before you leave.
2. Do you need to continue taking Rhodiola after you get to the plateau? If you are already in the plateau area and have never taken rhodiola before, starting to take it may help relieve the symptoms of altitude sickness. However, once you get used to the plateau environment and your symptoms are relieved or disappeared, it may be reasonable to stop taking rhodiola.
It should be noted that the function of rhodiola varies from person to person. Everyone's physical condition, reaction and plateau environment are different, so it is best to consult a professional doctor about whether to take rhodiola and when and where to stop taking it. They can provide personalized guidance according to your specific situation.
