Summer Blahs, Need Energy? - Adaptogens Are Your Answer!


If you're looking for more energy this summer, making sure that you get more adaptogen nutrients into your body, might by far be one of the best things you can do for yourself. Adaptogens herbs literally help the body to adapt to what your body needs or lacks.

If you need more energy because your adrenal glands are exhausted then adaptogen herbs like, Ginseng, Rhodiola, Ginkgo biloba, Fo-Ti, Schizandra and Ashwagandha can really help boost energy.

Adaptogens are special herbs that have been extensively studied and used for hundreds of years. They have an ability to help keep the body in balance. If the body is fatigued, an adaptogen will help restore energy without making the body jittery or nervous as caffeine often does. If the body is stressed, an adaptogen will help calm the body. In addition, an adaptogen herb is also known to soothe various organs of the body to help them function better or to help restore health to overstressed organs or glands. Adaptogens are particularly helpful in restoring balance, energy, and health to the adrenal glands, the liver, the mind, the kidneys, the heart, and to the central nervous system.

Adaptogens are herbs and nutrients that help balance the body to provide it with more energy when needed and yet more anti-stress, immune support, and calming benefits when required. Examples of adaptogen herbs are ashwagandha, astragalus, ginkgo biloba, Fo-Ti (Ho Shou Wu), rhodiola rosea, licorice root and schizandra. Also included are the various ginsengs (Panax ginseng), such as Chinese and Korean gingseng, and Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), also known as eleuthero root.

Beware of purchasing cheaper and unreliable gingseng root extracts. High quality gingseng extracts used in beneficial and adequate amounts will produce the desired adaptogenic results that can really help improve stamina, strength, and adrenal support and yet also help provide the anti-stress and calming effects when required. A truly high-quality daily multivitamin will often provide adaptogens in meaningful amounts that will help facilitate your requirements. If your interested, I have found a really great all in one-type daily multi-vitamin is Doctor Greens All In One Complete Multi-Tabs (tabs or powder) at Doctor Greens Website.

Hope this was helpful for those needing more energy this summer and even all year long,

Hal
