Energy & Mental Health
Humans are hard-wired to react to threats – whether real or imagined – by going into fight or flight reactions.
These fight or flight reactions were crucial for the evolution of our species and allowed our ancestors to fight or run away when faced with danger.
However, in modern times, this built-in survival response is activated in everyday situations where it is not appropriate, like in traffic or a stressful day at work!
When the perceived threat is gone, our built-in relaxation response is designed to kick in and return the body to normal function. But in these times of chronic stress, this often doesn't happen, leading to chronic illness, insomnia, hormonal imbalance, anxiety, and depression.
Many studies have proven the benefits of adaptogen herbs and their beneficial impact on the stress response. Adaptogens help balance, restore, and protect the body while improving its response to stressors and normalizing physiological functions.
Adaptogens are commonly used in stress-relieving and energy-providing supplement formulas. Many adaptogenic herbs are immune stimulants and, although helpful for some, they may cause an increase in symptoms for those with autoimmunity.
These herbs include; Aloe Vera, Ashwagandha, Astragalus, Echinacea, Ginseng, Grape seed extract, Green Tea Extract, Holy Basil, Lemon Balm, Licorice Root, Maca Root, and Medicinal Mushrooms.
Our store takes the guesswork out of which supplements are safe for those with autoimmunity by providing an 'AIP compliant' stamp on supplements that do not contain immune stimulation herbs and compounds. All supplements in our store include only effective formulas that are gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free.
