Adaptogens Part One: Schisandra Berry and Seed
Definition of Adaptogens:
1. Non-toxic in normal therapeutic doses;
2. Produce a non-specific state of resistance in the body to physical, emotional or environmental stress;
3. Have a normalizing (amphoteric) effect on the body helping to restore normal physiologic function that has been altered by chronic stress.
Adaptogens ALSO work by re-regulating two master control systems in the body, the HPA axis (Hypothalamic/Pituitary/Adrenal axis) and the SAS (Sympatho-Adrenal System)
Adaptogens also work on a cellular level preventing cortisol induced mitochondrial dysfunction.
