what are adaptogens?
Adaptogens are a specialized group of non-toxic herbs that protect the body from the impact of stressors - be it physical, chemical, or biological.
For a herb to qualify to be an adaptogen
it must do these three things:
1. It must be non-toxic to the recipient.
2. It produces a nonspecific response in the body. (An increase in the power of resistance against multiple stressors including physical, chemical, or biological agents.)
3. Has a normalizing influence on physiology, (Irrespective of the direction of change from physiological norms caused by the stressor.)
