FAQs

What are adaptogens?

Adaptogens are a remarkable class of natural substances, often derived from plants and herbs, renowned for their unique ability to assist the body in adapting to various stressors and maintaining a state of balance, or homeostasis. These adaptable allies work by supporting the body's response to physical, mental, and emotional stress, helping to restore equilibrium and enhance overall resilience. Whether it's environmental challenges, emotional pressures, or physiological changes, adaptogens aid in regulating key systems like the adrenal glands and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Through their intricate interactions with these systems, adaptogens can mitigate the harmful effects of stress, promote energy and stamina, and foster a sense of calm and vitality. Whether consumed as supplements, teas, or incorporated into dietary practices, adaptogens exemplify nature's ingenious design to bolster our capacity to cope with life's demands and maintain optimal well-being.

How do I use them?

Herbs can be taken two ways: in either their natural form, like the leaves and flowers we use for tea, or in a powdered extract form. Both are effective in their own right, and the choice just depends on what works best for your lifestyle. If you love a cup of hot tea, starting with loose blends will probably work best. If you're more of a smoothie & juice girly, our adaptogen powders are a great option to stir and go.

  • Adaptogen Powders
    Adaptogen powders are ground from dried herbs & roots. Add a teaspoon to your smoothie, juice, yogurt, latte, salad dressing, or any slightly thick liquid of choice! Stir in directly, or mix with a splash of water first
    for even easier blending.
  • Herbal Teas
    Our loose leaf teas are made from a combination of berries, leaves, roots, & petals. We recommend to simmer or steep in warm water to extract their healing properties.

How often and how much?

Adaptogens always work best when used consistently over time. Everyone's body and routines are different, so that that looks a little different for everyone. I always recommend as much consistency as possible with small breaks to let your body adapt and take inventory of how you feel. That routine might be every other day, aligning with a certain phase of your cycle, or a daily dose for long stretches with mini breaks in every few months. Finding a rhythm that works for you is integral in building an herbal practice, and there is truly no "right" answer.

Herbalism is a practice and a unique journey for each individual, so the most significant results will
always come from developing a personal relationship with the herbs.
Notice the changes in your body as you take them in, and tailor your
dosage to what feels best for YOU. Our bodies are smart and will tell us
what they need, our only job is to listen.
