What are Adaptogens?

Adaptogens are a special class of natural herbs that help the human body adapt to stress, support normal metabolic functions and help restore balance. They are a natural ally in dealing with persistent stress and stress related side effects such as ageing, digestive issues, liver issues, insominia, bad mood, lack of mental clarity and fatigue. They also work by supporting and restoring the balance of important hormones- such as cortisol, and allow the body to maintain optimal homeostasis.
