Adapting to Adaptogens
A significant majority of dietitians are working towards creating a diet that is focused on nourishing the brain, in a way that blocks stress and improves the body’s immunity to fight any kind of hormonal imbalances. Adaptogens are created using medicinal herbs and plants like ashwagandha, holy basil, ginseng, Goji berry and more.
