Adaptogens

Adaptogens are a class of natural substances -usually herbs, roots or mushrooms- that help the body adapt to stress and restore balance. Unlike stimulants or sedatives, they work more subtly, supporting the body's ability to maintain equilibrium in response to physical, emotional or environmental stressors.

Many Adaptogens have been used for centuries in traditional medicine systems, however, the concept of adaptogens became more popular in the mid-20th century int eh Soviet Union, where scientists studied plants that could improve endurance, stamina and recovery for soldiers and athletes. Today, adaptogens are widely used in wellness and functional medicine as natural tools to manage modern stress and enhance vitality.
