Do you need help relieving stress? I have a great suggestion and solution – Adaptogens.
Adaptogens are natural substances that enhance the bodies ability to regulate stress and anxiety levels. While assisting with stress and anxiety levels adaptogen herbs have many health benefits, including anti- aging properties. (Amen) Which then of course, helps encourage a balanced mood and reducing the dis-comfort of poor health. Adaptogens creates a giant boost for the immune system and increases the body's physical endurance.
Think of adaptogens like a thermostat. They keep your body’s stress response at a desirable level, much like the way a thermostat keeps the temperature from becoming too high or too low. Adaptogenic compounds help mitigate the stress response. They bring the hormones of your adrenal system back into balance and overcome adrenal fatigue.
