Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina and Stress Relief – 2nd ed.

$24.00

In our modern world we live incredibly busy and stress filled lives. Chronic stress, impaired sleep and the resultant elevation of stress hormones such as cortisol have been shown to be an initiator and cofactor for much of our chronic degenerative disease. In addition to stress reduction techniques, healthy relationships, a good diet and adequate sleep, another essential method for reducing stress and enhancing well-being is the use of adaptogenic herbs. For most people adaptogens are a “one size fits all” idea, take any one, they are all good for you. This is absolutely not true!

While adaptogens are generally safe, some are stimulating, some calming, some nourishing, others cooling or heating, moistening or drying. To get the greatest benefit from these herbs you need to understand their energetics and qualities to match the appropriate herb or herbs to the person taking it. This book gives you the detailed knowledge to understand the different adaptogens and their companion herbs, nervines, nootropics and restorative tonics, so they can help you to live a better, healthier and more relaxed life.

The new edition of this book includes a decade of new research, new case histories, additional herbs such as Rhaponticum, Maca and Shatavari, color photographs of the herbs, almost 100 pages of additional information, and the book has been updated throughout by the primary author David Winston, RH(AHG).

The two year clinical program with Center for Herbal Studies has been absolutely life changing.  My intention was to elevate my herbal knowledge in planning to open a practice as a clinical herbalist.  This program has absolutely given me the tools to feel confident opening a practice.  In the process of these two years, I have also been able to dive into my personal health challenges and make huge improvements that have elevated my quality of life.  This program absolutely surpassed my expectations and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about taking the program.
