Adaptogens

Adaptogens are natural substances, typically herbs or roots, that help the body adapt to stress and maintain balance. They may improve energy, focus, and resilience by supporting the adrenal system and regulating cortisol levels. Unlike stimulant or sedative drugs, adaptogens work gradually to enhance the body's ability to cope with physical, emotional, or environmental stressors. Common examples include ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and ginseng. While research is ongoing, many people use adaptogens to promote overall well-being and stress resilience as part of a holistic health approach.
