Adaptogens, Suppliments and CBD

Adaptogenics refer to *adaptogens*, which are natural substances, typically herbs or mushrooms, that help the body adapt to stress and promote balance or homeostasis. They are thought to improve the body's resistance to physical, chemical, and biological stressors.

Here are some key points about adaptogens:

- **Stress Reduction:** Adaptogens help the body handle stress by regulating hormones like cortisol.
- **Energy and Stamina:** Many adaptogens are used to improve energy levels and endurance without causing a crash like caffeine.
- **Balance:** They support the body’s equilibrium by modulating systems like the immune and nervous systems.
- **Common Adaptogens:** Some well-known adaptogens include ashwagandha, rhodiola, holy basil, and reishi mushrooms.
- **Traditional Use:** Many adaptogens have roots in traditional healing systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Adaptogens are popular in wellness circles and often found in supplements, teas, and tonics.
