THE POWER OF NATURE – ADAPTOGENES!

What adaptogens are?

Phytotherapy applies to the use of plants and their healing abilities, and adaptogens are a unique class of medical plants. They are characterized by increased resistance to low oxygen levels,they support the cardiovascular system, remove fatigue, regenerate, detoxify, affect the proper metabolism. In addition, they help to restore balance and protect the body. As Edward Wallace, naturopath, explains, the adaptogen has no specific actions and allows to react to any stressors and can influence and normalize physiological functions. Another naturopath Marcelle Pick informs that adaptogenic herbs can charge the adrenal glands, which helps in responding to stress.

Below I will briefly discuss the benefits of taking some adaptogens:
