Adaptogens are herbs, roots, and other medicinal plants that help the body function better than its natural capacity. In this loud, messy, and oh so stressful modern world, these ancient healing herbs are more needed than ever. Whether the stressor is environmental (originating in your body) or psychological (triggering your fight-or-flight response and causing the release of cortisol), adaptogens are packed with amino acids and/or vitamins that help manage the harmful effects stress has on the body. While relatively new to the western world, adaptogens are at the root of many things in western medicine.
With this beautifully illustrated reference, discover how to harness the ancient healing power of plants. From smart eating habits to personal growth advice, these engaging lifestyle guides give you the expert tips and life hacks you need to help you make good choices while practicing mindfulness and self-love.
