Adaptogen

Adaptogenic herbs help to support the body’s resilience to physical, emotional and environmental stressors. This class of herbs is vast, with many herbs having secondary effects on different body systems. These herbs exert their effect via multiple mechanisms including modulating immune function, influencing cellular signalling pathways, modulating the hormonal stress response or influencing neurotransmitters. Adaptogens can be applied to improve stamina and resilience in acutely stressful situations or following viral infections. They help to reduce fatigue, improve low energy and immunity.
