Adaptogens are powerful herbal combinations for healing. They optimize the body’s natural resistance and adaptation to stressful influences, and also promoting health and well-being.

What are some primary health benefits from adaptogens?

As conveyed in my Functional Medicine and Cancer article, main actions of primary adaptogens include the following.

• Anti-fatigue effect

• Improves eyesight and hearing

• Anti-viral: Increases the body’s ability to resist infection, prevents colds and the flu, shortens recovery time
