A cocktail?!…Not quite, but they can be added to one if needed!
Adaptogens are a group of herbs and plants that help your body adapt to stressors (hence the name, adaptogens - clever, right?). They've been used for centuries in traditional medicine practices, but they're now gaining popularity in the modern world for their stress-relieving and energy-boosting properties.
How do adaptogens work their magic?
Think of adaptogens as your body's personal cheerleaders, cheering you on and helping you cope with the ups and downs of life. They work by regulating your body's stress response, keeping your hormones in check, and boosting your energy levels.
Which adaptogens should you look out for?
There are several adaptogens out there, each with its own unique superpowers. Some popular adaptogens include Ashwagandha (great for reducing anxiety), Rhodiola Rosea (perfect for boosting endurance), and Holy Basil (ideal for promoting mental clarity). It's like assembling your own team of stress-busting Avengers!
How can you incorporate adaptogens into your daily routine?
You can find adaptogens in various forms like powders, capsules, teas, and even skincare products. Simply choose the form that suits your lifestyle and sprinkle, sip, or slather your way to a calmer, more energised you!
Tips…
Follow instructions on product labels. Adaptogens can work differently on different people so start slowly and increase when it feels right.
