Awesome Resource and Easy to Use!
I am a type one diabetic, tired mother of two and anxiety sufferer. I found support for all three of these in the well written chapters of this book. Rozelle covers the basics of Adaptogens and how to implement them in your day to day life, without talking above her audience’s head. Too many books waste people’s time while the author tries to convince you they really know what they are talking about. That is not the case here. I absolutely love the recipe suggestions and the section on how to get kids to take herbs. It is so obvious that this advice comes from a passionate doctor, who deals with the obstacles of effectively treating with herbal medicine in a modern world on a daily basis and is successful in doing so. Great, great resource!

good info
I was able to read this book in an hour and it had some really good info in it. The beginning was a bit challenging, it didn’t really interest me and just felt like added fluff, not really a great intro to adaptogens in my opinion. Maybe if taking charge of your own health is a brand new concept for you then this could be helpful, but it was just a little boring and didn’t keep my attention. I really liked the middle of the book when it introduced each adaptogen. I felt that was very useful, and the next section that identified problems and how to help with them was informative. However, I feel like it barely scraped the surface at that point as it only addressed a few issues including insulin resistance and obesity. Overall I think this is a decent resource. It’s great for beginners and I did learn about some new adaptogens that I originally hadn’t given much attention to but would like to try out.An issue showed up near the end where the letters were doubled and at first I thought I was going insane. I’ll include a picture. Hopefully that gets fixed!

What The Heck Are Adaptogens?
Maybe you are like me, and while you have heard of the term “Adaptogens,” you are still a little fuzzy about what they are exactly.Per Dr. Rachel Rozelle, the author of The Essential Guide to Adaptogens, “[They] are superstars in the world of natural medicine and have been used for centuries to help the body cope with stress.”I know it sounds New Age-y and weird, but there is some science to back up the use of medicinal herbs and mushrooms. This research-driven guide explains how 15 highlighted Adaptogens can help manage conditions like depression, insomnia, hypertension, and more.First, the book is broken down into several sections and chapters:IntroductionHow to Use This BookChapter One Adaptogens, Why We Love ThemChapter Two Nature’s Stress BustersChapter Three How to Use AdaptogensChapter Four Classic AdaptogensChapter Five Ailments and Treatments (using Adaptogens, of course)Chapter Six Complementary Practicesand ends with a helpful medical terms glossary, resources, references, and an index.In the introduction, Dr. Rozelle explains how her passion for botanical medicine started and that she is a naturopathic doctor. Her focus is on the “healing power of nature,” believing in plant-based medicine’s efficacy and the ability to promote healing in the body using it.In How to Use This Book, she cautions the user to read the book in its entirety before getting started. It will provide the most value and information in understanding the fundamentals of using Adaptogens.Chapter One: AdaptogensHere we get a little more information about what they are, exactly. Per the author, “Adaptogens are remarkable plants and fungi that have numerous therapeutic effects on the body and mind.” They can help restore and balance the immune system, improve sleep, balance hormones, enhance brain function and energy, etc. There are more in-depth definitions of what qualifies as an Adaptogen, their origins, medicinal history, etc.Throughout the book, we’re told how specific Adaptogens can be used, and for what, how they should be stored, dosages, and the like.Examples of some of the references herbs and fungi include American Ginseng. Profile-wise, it is a circulation enhancer and digestive tonic and used for adrenal fatigue and brain fog. Obviously, there is more, but you will have to read the book.You’re given an overview of each Adaptogen, uses, even recipes where it can be incorporated.Overall, a very short (less than 162 pages) informative read from someone knowledgeable.If you have any interest in learning more about Adaptogens, this book is worth a read. It will certainly get you started on the right path.I do hope this review was somewhat helpful.
