Adaptogen

A remedy that improves adaptability, helping to maintain an adequate stress response and prevent (or restore from) exhaustion of the adrenal cortex stress hormone [Sanchez BOTM680].

Must be balancing on metabolic processes and universally safe in the long term [FairyFile].

Nourishes the nervous system, helps to adapt, not for one body system only - beyond the nervous system. Supports systemically, and is SAFE - no side effects or contraindications [Palmer2004].
