What are adaptogens?
Herbs and mushrooms categorized as adaptogens can help regulate the body's stress response and restore balance to its systems. By adapting to your body's needs, they may help increase resistance to physical, emotional, and environmental stressors and promote wellness on multiple levels.
Some herbs that are recognized as adaptogens today, such as Reishi, Ashwagandha, and Tulsi, have been utilized for thousands of years in traditional medicinal systems. These herbs have a long history of use in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, where they are considered restoratives, qi-tonics, or rasayana herbs.
