Adaptogens are herbs and foods that help to restore balance in your body.
They're especially helpful for stress relief, hormone regulation, and recovery from illness.
You can use them all on their own or combine them into one powerful elixir! These are No Ordinary Moment's four favourite adaptogens :)
Lion's Mane is a mushroom that has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries. Its benefits are well known, with research showing it to be a powerful adaptogen that has been shown to increase memory and cognitive function as well as boost the immune system.
Reishi
Reishi is a mushroom that has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years to treat conditions like insomnia and fatigue due to overwork or chronic illness. It is amazing in coffee and tea for calmness and stress-free days.
Chaga
Chaga is a mushroom that grows on birch trees. Chaga has been used by people in Siberia and other parts of Russia for centuries. It's thought to help the immune system, liver, brain and heart.
Chaga is high in antioxidants like beta-glucans that can help boost your immune system. The antioxidants are also good for fighting free radicals, which can cause cancer or heart disease.
It's also said to lower blood pressure which is important if you have high blood pressure or cholesterol problems because it helps prevent stroke and heart attacks from happening too often
Turkey Tail
Turkey Tail is a powerful adaptogen that supports the immune system and encourages healthy cellular function. It's also an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain reliever), and mood booster. Turkey tail can be used to help with a variety of health concerns such as allergies and asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia, colds or flu—especially if you're feeling "stressed out."
Adaptogens are a wonderful addition to anyone's health routine. I hope this article has helped you decide which adaptogen is best for you and your needs.
