BE THE ADAPTOGEN
�The prestigious classification of “Adaptogen” or “Adaptogenic” is awarded to a relatively small group of plants that help assist with stress and its impact on the body. They do this by supporting the endocrine system
and can, in turn, manage the body’s response to stress. We often think of “stressors” as things that happen to us, such as interrupted sleep, work pressure, relationship issues etc. but there are also internal stressors that our bodies deal with every day. Examples of these are things such as congested bowels, inflammation, heavy menstruation, ulcers, bacterial infections or yeast overgrowths etc. Adaptogens, beyond managing both our internal and external stress, are also seen as energy-enhancing, mood-improving and promoters of inner balance. They are known as the most prestigious classification of plant medicine because they have a unique (and still not fully understood) ability to ADAPT THEIR FUNCTION according to what our body needs, helping us cope with both external and internal stresses.

THE PLANTS SUPPORT- BUT WE LEAD.
�For many, change is hard and whole lives can be structured around the avoidance of it. So when forced into it, a whole army of defences, both conscious and unconscious flare, often responding with denial and blame.
But this is our time to adapt and change. No other choice remains.
And it can be as BEAUTIFUL as your wildest desires.
Take adaptogenic plants yes, but the ADAPTATION stems from the human experience.
Time for change in a way that supports the whole, with PRACTICES that enhance our energy, improve our mood and promoter of inner balance..
