Adapto-What? Understanding Adaptogenic Herbs

Solle Naturals talks a lot about “adaptogenic herbs”, but what does that really mean?  Adaptogens are a special group of herbs that help support the adrenal system.  In his article “Adaptogens: Nature’s Miracle Anti-stress and Fatigue Fighters” Frank Lipton explains that using caffeine and sugar to combat fatigue locks people into a cycle of highs and crashes.  Adaptogenic herbs, however, help your body to stabilize and improve without crashes and vicious cycles.

The thing is, these adaptogenic herbs aren’t a new discovery.   Chinese and other cultures have been harnessing the power of these herbs since ancient times.  They knew the value of the medicine that can be found right in mother nature’s kitchen.  The products available here at HealthySolle contain powerful combinations of Adaptogenic herbs specifically formulated to increase vitality and balance your system.

Here are a few used and the benefits of them:

Eleuthero
Extensively studied by Russian scientists and proven
to support endurance and response in those stressful
moments.

Schizandra
Its name in Chinese means “five flavored berry”
because it is sweet, salty, sour, bitter and pungent. It
is packed with healthful compounds that make it a
superior adaptogen with anti-inflammatory activity and potent anti-oxidants.

Astagalus
A key immune-system enhancer, this adaptogen has
been subject of numerous studies involving virtually
all major body systems.

Ashwaganda
Used in Ayurveda for over 2,500 years, its inclusion
here provides effective anti-stress support and
immune and circulatory system enhancement.

Jiaogulan
Besides possessing anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
qualities (nearly 4 times as many saponins
as Panax Ginseng), this relatively newly-recognized
adaptogen is often studied for its many beneficial effects on the circulatory system.

Rhodiola
Eye-opening studies have recently shown that
this superior herb supports a balanced outlook in
those affected by the highs and lows of stress.

Astagalus
A key immune-system enhancer, this adaptogen has
been subject of numerous studies involving virtually
all major body systems.

St. John’s Wort
Shown in many studies as one of the leading
herbs for mood management, our extract is
standardized to .3% hypericin with hyperforin
thus insuring potency of both compounds within
St. John’s Wort that have been the subject of
clinical studies.

There are so many more, but the bottom line is, that Adaptogenic herbs can dramatically improve your health and life.  It’s not just a buzz term, or the latest fad, it is a scientifically and historically  proven tool to optimize your health.
