Adaptogens
Adaptogens are a unique category of herbs, mushrooms, and roots that help restore balance by counteracting the harmful effects of stress in the body. These herbs “adapt” their function according to your body's needs, offering stimulating or soothing effects.... Each adaptogen has varying herbal actions that may help with everything from preventing stress and boosting energy to promoting immune function and improving focus. Learn how to support your immune system naturally through times of stress using adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms.
The natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of tea work synergistically with adaptogens, so while this selection primarily includes single-ingredient herbs, we also offer healing tea blends with adaptogenic herbs.

What are adaptogens?
Herbs and mushrooms categorized as adaptogens can help regulate the body's stress response and restore balance to its systems. By adapting to your body's needs, they may help increase resistance to physical, emotional, and environmental stressors and promote wellness on multiple levels.
Some herbs that are recognized as adaptogens today, such as Reishi, Ashwagandha, and Tulsi, have been utilized for thousands of years in traditional medicinal systems. These herbs have a long history of use in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, where they are considered restoratives, qi-tonics, or rasayana herbs.
Adaptogens are a unique category of herbs, mushrooms, and roots that help restore balance by counteracting the harmful effects of stress in the body. These herbs “adapt” their function according to your body's needs, offering stimulating or soothing effects. Each adaptogen has varying herbal actions that may help with everything from preventing stress and boosting energy to promoting immune function and improving focus. Learn how to support your immune system naturally through times of stress using adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms.
The natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of tea work synergistically with adaptogens, so while this selection primarily includes single-ingredient herbs, we also offer healing tea blends with adaptogenic herbs.
