Adaptogens tend to grow in the most inhospitable areas of the earth; high deserts or cold mountains with dry and barren land. In order to survive there, they develop particular compounds in their physical form which naturally resist environmental stressors. The good news for us is that when we consume these compounds, we are gifted with the same experience.

These elite plants are extremely important in the 21st century, since they not only increase resistance to the adverse effects of long-term stress, but the majority are also a tonic, stimulating the immune system while increasing a general sense of well-being.
