Adaptogens are certain plants and fungi (mushrooms) with properties that can help the body mitigate and adapt to stress. They have an amazing normalizing effect on the body, helping to restore balance. This occurs at the physical level, through the reduction of inflammation, improved digestion, and strengthened immune system. This balance can also occur at the mental level through the improvement of focus, aiding in memory, and increase in mental stamina. Adaptogens are true mind-body foods.
