Daily Adaptogen

An adaptogen is an Ayurvedic herbal formula. Ayurveda is the oldest system of medicine on the planet; the word means 'art of living'. Ayurveda identifies the cause of disease as a seperation of mind, body and consciousness, due to the degenerative effects of mental, emotional and physical stress. Nor is this my idea alone, for Ayurveda has been readily tested by the American Medical Association, and shown effective in reducing stress by 85%.

A daily adaptogen is an excellent way to energize you, being far better and healthful than a cup of coffee. Additionally, adaptogens are very beneficial for those who are generally tired, weak or suffering from old-age and physical illness. In all, an adaptogen helps the body adapt to physiological and psychological stress. // Whatever your reason, a daily adaptogen will combat the stress and toxins we encounter in every aspect of our live, so are perfect for a peaceful and anti-aging program.

In Ayurveda, there are many adaptogens, most are both readily available and easy to take.

Ashwahganda and Chyawanprash are both found in Indian grocery stores. They are herbal mixtures that are easily spread like jam on a piece of bread. They also have a wonderful taste. Both tone and normalize bodily functions while strengthening our resistance to stress and daily toxins. In particular, Chyawanprash is excellent for building immunity and lessening the symptoms of depression.

Turmeric. Yes, the same turmeric found in the spice section at the local grocery store. This is an excellent anti-inflammatory and has a regenerative effect on the liver. Likewise, it has been proven to resist cancerious tumors. A simple tea can be made from a pinch of turmeric and drank for breakfast.
