Adaptogens - Herbs for Chronic Health Issues in Midlife #4

In this episode, I talk about adaptogens, what they are and how this category of herbs, which are mainly roots, work for our health. Ginseng is the classic adaptogen, or tonic herb, as it would be called in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but there are many other herbs that have similar benefits, like Ashwagandha, Rhodiola and Eleuthero which is also called Siberian Ginseng. We talk about similarities to the concept of Rasayanas in Ayurvedic Medicine and Kidney Yang Tonics in TCM, and I also mention the herb Shatavari which is maybe not a full adaptogen in the strict definition, because it has a more specific action on the female hormones whereas adaptogens have a more broad action and help with stress. But anyway, you will learn a lot about Adaptogens in this info-packed episode and how to use these herbs in the correct dose for optimal health results!
