Adaptogens are medicinal herbs, plants, and fungi originally used in centuries-old traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic healing traditions that biologically increase the body’s capacity to handle physical, mental, and emotional stress.

Adaptogens can also increase energy and libido, boost immunity, and fight depression and anxiety.
