Adaptogens: Protection from Chronic Stress

Redd Remedies love Adaptogens! What is an adaptogen you ask? They are plants and fungi that increase our resistance to stress! This covers all types of stress, such as physical, mental, emotional and/or environmental stress. They work by balancing and normalizing our body systems and act as “good stress” in the body.

The longer you take them the better! They can have long-term effects such as normalizing and supporting sleep cycles. While others, can have short term benefits with a single dose that can help reduce fatigue as well as act as a rapid response against acute stress.

Some well-known adaptogens include: Panax ginseng, Eleuthero, Schisandra, Ashwagandha and Rhodiola. By using any of these adaptogens on a daily basis you can protect yourself again the damaging effects of chronic stress on the body and mind.
