What's an Adaptogen?

Adaptogens are a specific group of plants - mainly herbs and mushrooms - that help to support the body’s ability to fight stress. 


These herbs and plants are non-toxic and have been used for centuries in Chinese herbal medicine and Indian Ayurvedic traditions. 

Adaptogens work by supporting the body’s ability to more quickly return to balance in times of stress, while also helping manage cortisol levels.
