Adaptogens and tonic herbs in general are my favorite category of medicinal herbs, and I use them a lot for myself and clients in my health practice. They are safe and non-toxic and help us deal with stress, improve the immune system, regulate hormones, and improve our thinking, mood, anxiety, and fatigue. Absolute all-rounders to help us deal with modern life's challenges! Let's learn about the difference between central nervous system stimulants like coffee, and adaptogens. In a nutshell, coffee depletes your energy and adaptogens actually build up your energy reserves, in the long term. Some of the more known adaptogens are Eleuthero, Ginseng, Schisandra, Reishi, and Rhodiola, but there are a lot more that are less known but equally effective.
