Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted? Don't worry; you're not alone. With the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to feel run down.
While we've previously introduced you to our game-changing tea blends full of superfoods and healing herbs, we wanted to delve into a special category of ingredients that set our blends apart—adaptogens.
From ashwagandha to holy basil, adaptogens are a unique category of ingredients that have been used for centuries to help the body cope with stress. They are not only incredibly therapeutic but also taste great and can be added to hot or cold beverages.
So, what exactly are adaptogens? And how can you take advantage of their powerful benefits?
What Are Adaptogens?
Adaptogens are natural substances that help the body adapt to stress and restore balance. They are unique plants or herbs that improve the health of your adrenal system, the system responsible for managing your body's hormonal response to stress.
In a nutshell, adaptogens help you stabilize your physiological processes and promote equilibrium. And when you can easily add them to your diet, they become even more powerful.
How Do Adaptogens Work?
Unlike medications that serve to treat or manage specific conditions, adaptogens work holistically. They contribute to the stabilization of physiological processes and the promotion of homeostasis.
Adaptogens impact hormones, inflammation, and various other bodily functions in a way that helps you adapt to stressful circumstances more effectively.
Research is ongoing as to how these substances perform their magical balancing act. However, a complete understanding may still be a few years off because of the complexity of the body's response to stressors.
That said, adaptogens can be used with incredible confidence due to their long-term use in traditional medicine and the encouraging level of scientific evidence that exists today. Adaptogenic herbs are entirely natural, safe to use, and free of serious side effects - making them an excellent way to support physical and mental health.
Why Are They Called "Nature's Stress Busters"?
The term "stress busters" isn't an exaggeration. Adaptogens, when consumed regularly, have been shown to:
-
Reduce anxiety: By modulating hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain, adaptogens provide a calming effect to help reduce anxiety.
-
Increase energy: Adaptogens are considered tonics, which can help restore balance and increase energy levels.
-
Support cognitive function: Because of their ability to reduce stress, adaptogens have been shown to improve memory, focus, and concentration.
-
Boost immune system: Research suggests that adaptogens can help to improve the function of the body's immune system, protecting it from disease-causing pathogens.
-
Help fight fatigue: Adaptogens can help fight off fatigue, providing a natural boost of energy for those feeling worn out and exhausted.
