Adrenal health
What are the benefits of taking adaptogenic herbs for adrenal imbalance?
Many of the plant-based extracts and ingredients we include in our adrenal support
formula have adaptogenic effects, which allow a phytotherapeutic formula to support
your body in different ways, depending on your changing internal environment. For
centuries, and more recently through evidence-based research, adaptogens have been
recognized for their ability to stimulate our innate healing mechanisms to respond
to our bodies’ unique and ever-changing needs.
We have formulated our phytotherapeutic supplements based on what has worked for
generations to heal and support the adrenal glands. And there is a steadily-growing
body of peer-reviewed literature available now, from scientists who are investigating
plant-based formulations and reporting their laboratory findings regarding the molecular
effects of herbs at the cellular level. It is this research data along with the
long history of each herb’s traditional use that we have referred to in order
to formulate our herbal combinations.
Over time, our bodies have adapted to plant-based phytochemicals, allowing our systems,
especially the endocrine system, to communicate with the compounds in these plants.
Herbal medicines often produce a gentler physical response because they address
imbalances “upstream” at the source — and this can help head off
potential symptoms before they occur. Stronger, conventional medications usually
do their work further down the line where symptoms are “presenting,”
but this doesn’t help eliminate the problem that’s causing those symptoms
in the first place. Herb-based formulas generally have fewer undesirable side effects
as well.
