Adaptogens are herbs and they get their name from the Latin "adaptare," which means to adapt. This is exactly what these herbs give us support in. They possess the unique ability to adapt to the body's needs. They can have a stimulating effect as well as a calming effect. Adaptogen herbs are not yet very well known in Western medicine, while in Eastern cultures these healing herbs have been used for centuries.
