An updated and expanded edition of the definitive guide to
adaptogenic herbs * Includes a Materia Medica with monographs
covering 25 adaptogens, including eleuthero, ginseng, rhodiola,
schisandra, ashwagandha, licorice, shatavari, reishi, and holy
basil, as well as complementary nervines, restorative tonics, and
nootropics * Explains how adaptogens increase the body's resistance
to adverse influences, increase energy and stamina, and counter the
effects of age and stress on the body * Details the actions,
properties, preparation, and dosage for each herb and their uses in
Ayurveda and Chinese medicine and as remedies for animals Every day
our bodies strive to adapt and stay balanced, energized, and
healthy, yet chronic stress and the resulting elevation of stress
hormones such as cortisol have been shown to be major factors
behind not only fatigue and weight gain but also many chronic and
degenerative diseases. In this updated edition of the definitive
guide to adaptogenic herbs, clinical herbalist David Winston and
researcher Steven Maimes provide a comprehensive look at
adaptogens: non-toxic herbs such as ginseng, eleuthero, and
ashwagandha that help the body "adapt" to the many influences it
encounters and manage the stresses it experiences. They also
increase stamina and energy, boost cognitive function, restore the
immune system, and counter the effects of aging, especially when
used in appropriate combinations. Beginning with a history of the
use of adaptogens, including in Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and
Russian medicine, the book examines how these herbal remedies work
and why they are so effective at combating stress-induced illness
and ailments. The extensive Materia Medica includes monographs on
25 adaptogens, including eleuthero, ginseng, rhodiola, schisandra,
ashwagandha, shatavari, reishi, and holy basil, as well as
complementary nervines, restorative tonics, and nootropic herbs,
such as milky oats, astragalus, St. John's wort, and ginkgo. Each
monograph presents the latest scientific research and details the
origin, traditional and clinical uses, actions, properties,
preparation, and dosage for each herb. The book also includes
guidance on adaptogenic remedies for our animal companions. Aimed
not only at herbalists but also those interested in natural health,
this guide to adaptogens will allow you to safely and effectively
use these herbal remedies to enhance your health and improve your
chances of living a longer, healthier, and well-balanced life.
