What Are Adaptogens

Wildcrafted is a collection of custom blended nontoxic mushrooms & super-herbs known as “adaptogens.” Adaptogens help your body fight the negative effects of the stress hormone, cortisol, and nourish your overworked adrenal glands.

 

Wildcrafted will help you get balanced, focused, centered and energized. Here is an overview of how exactly these healing plants can change your life.

 

For over 5,000 years these functional mushrooms and super herbs have been used widely across cultures and continents. They have been a part of medical systems in Ancient Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine, ancient Russian folk medicine and Northern European traditional medicine. Adaptogens help the body resist stressors of all kinds, whether physical, chemical or biological. Once in the body they quite literally go where they are needed to help your body “adapt” to stress.

The benefits of adaptogens is an ever-growing list that gets increasingly impressive as more studies are done. This group of functional mushrooms and super herbs have historically been used to:

 

-Reduce stress
-Combat fatigue
-Increase energy
-Improve brain function
-Strengthen immunity
-Reduce inflammation
-Boost liver health
-Increase libido
-Balance hormone function
-Promote cell regeneration resulting glowing skin

 

Adaptogens work hard to normalize body functions through their affections on the HPA axis and the sympathoadrenal system. Your brain-adrenal (HPA) axis, brain-thyroid (HPT) and brain-gonadal axis (HPG) need to work in perfect harmony for a healthy mood, metabolism, energy, and immune system. Our adaptogenic blends work together to normalize and balance those complex systems resulting in expanding your body’s capacity to handle mental, physical and emotional stress.

 

Our search for a healthier lifestyle began with Southern Pressed Juicery and now continues with the birth of Wildcrafted.
