Description
Adaptogens are plants that balance the body’s and mind’s response to stress and prevent or redu- ce the harmful effects of chronic stress.
Well-known examples of adaptogenic plants include Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng), Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), rose root (Rhodiola rosea), ashwagandha (Withania somni- fera), schisandra (Schisandra chinensis), maca (Lepidium peruvianum), bacopa (Bacopa monnieri), Baikal skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis), and astragalus (Astragalus Membranaceus).
Adaptogens modulate the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems and therefore have a multi- faceted effect on the entire body. They are much more than just anti-stress agents.
