Adaptogen Herbs may be new to you but they’re no secret!  Existing for thousands of years and packed with amazing healing properties, they may be the answer to perimenopause and menopause symptoms. Better yet, they are nontoxic, readily available and offer a wonderful option for those who seek natural solutions.

These little anti-stress, fatigue fighters and their healing properties adapt to their environment.  In other words, they give you what you need when you need it.  Sound to good to be true?  Trust me, they are the real deal.

The term adaptogen was coined by Russian scientist Dr. Nikolai Lazarev in the late 1940s following research done on eleuthero root. In 1968, Israel I. Brekhman, PhD and Dr. I. V. Dardymov formally defined adaptogens as plants with three characteristics.

To start, they are non-toxic so they may be taken safely for prolonged periods. Adaptogens produce a nonspecific biological response that improves the body’s ability to resist multiple forms of stress, including chemical, biological and physical stressors.

(Yes, perimenopause and menopause, that would be YOU causing unprecedented stress as ovaries begin to fail and throw hormones into disarray).

Finally, adaptogens have a normalizing affect, which means that they help the body regain balance based on whatever direction stressors pull you out of whack.
