Adaptogens 101: The Ancient Herbs for Modern Life

What Are Adaptogens?

Adaptogens are a class of herbs, roots, and mushrooms traditionally used to help the body maintain balance and support its natural ability to adapt to life’s stresses.

Rather than acting as stimulants or sedatives, these plants work gently over time — helping bring the body back to equilibrium and encouraging a sense of overall well-being.

Across traditions such as Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Tibetan herbalism, adaptogens have long been valued as allies for resilience, vitality, and harmony between body and mind.

How Adaptogens Support the Body

Each adaptogen interacts differently with the body’s natural systems. Some are traditionally used to promote calm and grounding; others to encourage energy, clarity, or rejuvenation.

When taken consistently, they can help you feel more balanced, centered, and attuned to your natural rhythm — whatever your day brings.
