Adaptogens & Managing Stress
With the holiday season just around the corner, many of us find our stress levels increasing. Adaptogens can help protect the body from the effects of stress by regulating its adrenal stress response. These herbs can provide a sense of calm, increase energy, enhance mental performance & ease symptoms of depression & anxiety. Adaptogens have antioxidant & anti-inflammatory effects which help protect cells from damage. Although they are non-toxic even with long-term use, due to their effect on the body’s hormones, adaptogens should be avoided during pregnancy & breastfeeding unless advised by your healthcare professional. Adaptogens can be taken individually or as part of a formula &work best when taken for at least 3 months.

Here are a few of our favorite Adaptogens….
Rhodiola helps reduce anxiety, promoting a calm mental state. It improves both physical & mental stamina & boosts the immune system.
Siberian Ginseng has been shown to increase mental alertness, concentration, energy & stamina. It reduces stress & fatigue & enhances immunity. It should be used with caution by individuals with high blood pressure.
Holy Basil has been revered in India for over 5,000 yearsfor its ability to help calm the mind, improve energy & elevate the mood. It is thought to protect the liver & aid in nicotine withdrawal.
A member of the nightshade family, Ashwagandha has a long history of traditional use in India for improving energy & memory, reducing anxiety, improving sleep and libido& boosting the immune system.
Reishi mushrooms are used in Chinese medicine to help nourish & support adrenal function & help calm the nervous system.

Some other ways to help manage stress…

This recipe for an energizing herbal floor wash & spray is from my dear friend, Carolina Gonzales: ‘After thoroughly cleaning your home, make an infusion of Rosemary, Cinnamon, Thymeand a handful of salt. Strain and place half the infusion in a bucket of clean water (without any soap) & the rest in a spray bottle. Starting at the furthest point in your home & working toward the entrance, go room to room, mopping the floors & spraying doors, windows and the corners, especially areas under the stairs, basements, etc. When you reach the door, throw any remaining water outside.’
Although Carolina recommends using Rosemary, Cinnamon & Thyme, try experimenting with other dried herbs you have on hand, such as Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon Balm or Pine, Fir, Cedar.
