Book Synopsis

Learn all you need to know about more than 50 of the most common healing herbs and how to make delicious, nutrient-dense recipes to have you functioning at a higher frequency.

Adaptogens are herbs, roots, and other medicinal plants that help the body function better than its natural capacity. In this loud, messy, and oh so stressful modern world, these ancient healing herbs are needed more than ever. Whether the stressor is environmental (originating in your body) or psychological (triggering your fight-or-flight response and causing the release of cortisol), adaptogens are packed with amino acids and/or vitamins that help manage the harmful effects stress has on the body. While relatively new to the western world, adaptogens are at the root of many things in western medicine. Did you know that aspirin comes from willow bark?

With this beautifully illustrated reference, discover how to harness the ancient healing powe
