There are so many fabulous adaptogens. And each one affects our system in different ways. Find the one that matches your current concerns and keep a few on hand at home. Here are some of my favorites 💗
| Ashwagandha | Anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, muscles |
| Rhodiola | Emotions, immunity, chronic fatigue |
| Maca | Libido, mood, anxiety |
| Shatavari | Dryness, libido, high emotion |
| Tulsi, holy basil | Mental clarity, immunity, mood |
| Reishi mushroom | Immunity, forgetfulness, insomnia |
💥 Remember 💥 while teas are a great healthful addition to your day, adaptogens often needed to be taken in therapeutic doses for extended periods of time. I typically recommend three months or longer for maximum efficacy. They can be taken as capsules, tinctures, and decoctions/teas.
