Harness the ancient healing power of adaptogens: herbs, roots, and other medicinal plants that help the body function better than its natural capacity. Learn all you need to know about over 70 of the most common healing herbs and how to make delicious, nutrient-dense recipes to have you functioning at a higher frequency.
The modern world is loud, messy, and oh so stressful. 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?
Adaptogens is divided into three sections. The first is an easy-to-understand breakdown of the history and science behind these wonderful herbal remedies. The second, and the bulk of the book, is the adaptogen comprehensive directory so that you can figure out which products and powders will best work with the stresses of your life. The last is a slew of delicious and nutritious recipes.
Nature has gifted us with many plants across the globe that are talented at growing in stressful environments. They pass on this talent once consumed. Some of the common effects are:CalmingMediating cravingsWell-being and happinessHomeostasis through self-regulationStaminaWeight lossAnti-inflammationImmunity boostingSkin issuesSharpening the mind out of brain fogThese plants are not a quick fix for a stressful situation. Rather, they are a way to help the body better deal with the higher amounts of stress we seem to be seeing a lot of right now. Learn about what plants can do for you as you harness nature’s power.

Beautiful and practical
I am really excited to add this gorgeous book on Adaptogens to my collection! I plan to buy a hardbound copy upon its release to use as a reference on my bookshelf. The photographs and descriptions of the herbs are gorgeous. Though I have been working with an herbalist for awhile now, the descriptions of the adaptogens are both clear and easy enough for a beginner, and detailed and valuable enough for experts. I learned new things about my two favorite adaptogens that I already take, Eluthro and Astragalus, and also got some great new ideas. This book is especially useful right now in the time of COVID-19 and is very science-based and straightforward. It also contains every warning you might need to read about interactions and precautions and is much more detailed and accurate than what you might find when frantically Googlilng Web MD before taking a supplement. I recommend it to anyone interested in herbalism and alternative health. I really cannot overstate the usefulness and beauty of this book!

Gorgeous and informative book!
I am always interested in improving my health, especially increasing energy and better managing stress. I was so excited to see this book and appreciate that it is written by a Registered Dietitian! This was an informative book yet also simple and not overwhelming. It reviews a variety of adaptogens and their health benefits and is followed by the loveliest recipes. The book was also beautiful – each page had the most gorgeous photographs. I highly recommend this book!Thank you, Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley, for a digital ARC!

Great Resource
As someone who hadnât heard of adaptogens before, this book was as interesting as it was informative. The author does a good job in the beginning of bringing the readers up to speed on the who, what, and why should we care? This section is fairly short, doing its job without taking much of the readerâs time. The next section is the directory in which each adaptogen is discussed on a page all its own. The layout itself of these pages is aesthetically pleasing as well as organized and even accompanied by a lovely photo of the adaptogen. This section is followed by recipes. Like the directory, these pages are orderly and beautiful. They provide you with all the information needed to make the recipe, with detailed ingredients, instructions, and purpose. Most of the food looks appetizing too!As someone new to the subject, this book appears like a great resource. Those familiar with the subject may feel different.

Herbs, foods, and supplements that help your body deal with stress
“Adaptogens” is a short book about herbs, foods, and supplements that help your body deal with stress when taken over time. The author started by briefly describing what an adaptogen is, then there’s a directory of adaptogen profiles. Each profile gave the common and scientific name, a brief history of its use, the health benefits, any safety concerns, and dosing information (though this was sometimes merely a recommendation to ask your doctor). There were about 40 full adaptogen profiles plus about 10 brief superfood/powder profiles. The author also included some recipes for drinks, soups, spreads, and more using combinations of these adaptogens. The book doesn’t actually include a lot of information as one page of each profile or recipe is simply a full-color picture of the herb or recipe. But it might be good for a beginner who would be overwhelmed by more information. I’d recommend this book to those who don’t know about adaptogens who are specifically interested in these herbs rather than medicinal herbs in general.I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
