Adaptogens
As stress related conditions are believed to account for 80% of all medical issues, imagine how much better your quality of life could be if you minimized or even eliminated stress related problems.
What Are ADAPTOGENS
The scientific definition: Adaptogens are natural substances that increase the state of non-specific resistance in stress and decrease sensitivity to stressors, which results in stress protection, and prolong the phase of resistance (stimulatory effect). Instead of exhaustion, a higher level of equilibrium (homeostasis) is obtained.
The simple English definition: Adaptogens are herbs, roots and other plant substances (like mushrooms) that help our bodies manage stress and restore balance after a stressful situation.
An ever growing body of research shows that adaptogens help the body regulate in many ways, including improving mood, balancing hormones, fighting fatigue and boosting the immune system.
Why Are ADAPTOGENS Important For Our Levels of Health and Wellbeing
We live in a world full of stress. Each day we are subjected to a wide range of mental, physical, emotional and environmental stressors that all have a negative effect on our overall health. While the amount we are exposed to each day varies, virtually no one lives a stress free life. As a result, It is estimated that as many as 80% of all doctors visits are for stress-related conditions.
