What are plant adaptogens?
Plant adaptogens have been utilised for thousands of years in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for their health optimising benefits: relieve stress, increase energy levels and improve concentration. More recently they are being adopted in functional Western medicine as we gain a better understanding of what plants and foods contain them and their amazing health benefits.
Nikolay Lazarev, a Russian scientist, discovered in 1957 that certain herbs and properties that produced a state of ‘non-specific resistance’ which led him to develop the term ‘adaptogen’. His research basically explored how these properties helped the body to function optimally regardless of environmental stressors.
What do adaptogens do?
Quite simply, adaptogens help our body to adapt. They help us to recalibrate when we are exposed to daily stressors. Essentially, they help us to become resilient to our environment and overcome daily challenges to our health and wellbeing.
Adaptogens work throughout the whole body to minimise damage from emotional, physical and environmental stressors. This can help to enhance calm, focus, mental clarity and energy.
Why are adaptogens so good for female health?
Stress can have a huge impact on our hormones and can disrupt hormonal balance which can lead to a number of associated issues like brain fog, low mood, anxiety, poor sleep quality to name a few. Because adaptogens can help our bodies better manage stress this in turn can help restore hormonal balance.
What are the benefits of Ashwagandha and Maca Root?
Ashwagandha
Also known as Indian Ginseng, Ashwagandha is a small shrub with yellow flowers that is found in India and Southeast Asia. It is one of the best adaptogenic herbs to help minimise the harmful effects of stress on the body by supporting brain function, lowering blood sugar and cortisol levels and fighting the symptoms of anxiety. People use extracts or powder from the plant’s roots or leaves to treat a variety of conditions, including anxiety and fertility issues.
Maca Root
Also known as Peruvian Ginseng, studies have shown that Maca can help improve low mood, libido, support fertility and help balance hormones. It is also thought to help boost energy levels, improve memory and learning and due to high antioxidant content, helps to protect the body.
It feels natural, like silk, no irritation or discomfort
I have really benefited from using this product as it has exactly the right consistency and it continues to be effective for a considerable time. Its properties mean that I do not need to be concerned about irritants and I have found it to be quite soothing… I would say that it is my favourite lube.
