Adaptogens are a large group of herbs that might be described as the key to health. The word “adaptogen” refers to the nonspecific endocrine-regulating, immune-modulating effects of certain plants that increase a person’s ability to maintain optimal health and balance in the face of physical and emotional stress. Who doesn’t have some stress in their life? Stress is not all negative, but exploring how stress affects the body we understand why adaptogens are so effective at sustaining health and wellbeing regardless of the challenges faced.
Taking a holistic view on health and wellbeing, healing is not simply a rational, self-centred, logical model it is a journey, that increases communication between mind, body and spirit, enabling integration and whole-ness.
