A scientifically based herbal and nutritional program to master stress, improve energy, prevent degenerative disease, and age gracefully
• Explains how adaptogenic herbs work at the cellular level to enhance energy production and subdue the pro-inflammatory state behind degenerative disease
• Explores the author’s custom adaptogenic blends for the immune system, cardiovascular health, thyroid function, brain health, and cancer treatment support
• Provides more than 60 monographs on herbs and nutritional compounds based on more than 25 years of clinical practice with thousands of patients
Weaving together the ancient wisdom of herbalism and the most up-to-date scientific research on cancer, aging, and nutrition, renowned medical herbalist and clinical nutritionist Donald Yance reveals how to master stress, improve energy levels, prevent degenerative disease, and age gracefully with the elite herbs known as adaptogens.
Yance’s holistic approach, called the Eclectic Triphasic Medical System (ETMS), is based on extensive scientific research, more than 25 years of clinical practice, and excellent results with thousands of patients. It centers on four interconnected groups of health tools: botanical formulations, nutritional supplements, diet, and lifestyle. Defining three categories for adaptogenic herbs, he explains how formulations should combine herbs from each category to create a synergistic effect. He provides more than 60 monographs on herbs and nutritional compounds as well as custom combinations to revitalize the immune system, build cardiovascular health, protect brain function, manage weight, and support cancer treatment. He explains the interplay of endocrine health, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, thyroid function, and stress in the aging process and reveals how adaptogenic treatment begins at the cellular level with the mitochondria–the microscopic energy producers present in every living cell.
Emphasizing spirituality, exercise, and diet in addition to herbal treatments and nutritional supplements, Yance’s complete lifestyle program explores how to enhance energy production in the body and subdue the proinflammatory state that lays the groundwork for nearly every degenerative disease, taking you from merely surviving to thriving.

Excellent Resource
This book has been worth every penny! Itâs a main resource for me when working with clients because letâs face it, everyone needs some adaptogens in their life. Itâs the book on adaptogens you know you needed with information you didnât know you needed. Well written and easily applicable.

Jam packed…
I am SO EXCITED to have bought this book. There is so much information in it! It is jam packed and brilliantly written. Great source to have if you’re prescribing herbs or using them personally!!

Very detailed…much more than I expected
WOW, I was not expecting a textbook! So many herbal books just gloss over information without getting into the meat of the herbs (i.e., materia medica). This book is a wonderful resource, filled with information on how to use the herb, and which herbs to use with. AWESOME, one of the best herbal books on my shelf. Someone from an herbal background or who is really deep into studying herbs will appreciate it. I teach a course on herbs and am personally most interested in adaptogenic herbs so I cannot be more thrilled with this goldmine of information. Even the forward and introduction were fabulous reads (and I read every word, which I usually don’t). If you are a lay person who just wants some general knowledge without getting in deep into herbalism, you may not like this book. It truly is more like a text rather than easy reading.
Honestly –
Brilliant and useful
Herbs to use for balance

Accessible info for any herbalist
Many of the herbal adaptogens are more common in Ayurvedic or Chinese herbal systems; however, this book makes them accessible in understanding how to work with them and how they may benefit someone incorporating the herbs into their health regimen. The book includes information on what is an adaptogen, how they have been well studied and used for a long time in Eastern traditions, a compendium of the adaptogenic herbs, recipes, and more. I highly recommend this book to any herbalist looking to better understand adaptogens.

This is a great book for anyone that wants a deeper veiw on adaptogenic herbs. I have several herbal books and this one is referenced for study and application many times over. I am very pleased I bought this and gained a tremendous amount of knowledge. Get it and you will gain too!

Path finder –
Most importantly, the book came well packaged and unharmed.The pages are a decent weight around 80-90 and are easy to read.Its bound in such a way that the pages lie more flat which is much better than most larger books of this size.Since I’ve had the book for a day, I can’t say much about the content. So far it reads very well with a balanced tone and he introduces concepts in a easy to grasp manner. Thumbs up from me.

An incredible piece of work. Even better if there was more on creating medicines, etc.
