Adaptogens are a classification of herbs that have been used historically to help support the body.  An herb is considered to be an adaptogen if it does not cause harm and if it activates only when the body needs it. Adaptogenic herbs help the body to adapt to various environmental and psychological stresses and in modern times, can help to protect the body from the chronic, life-threatening stress we are all exposed to on a daily basis.

Jiaogulan Herbal Tea is an exceptional adaptogenic herb because of its therapeutic benefits according to research.  Claims range from strengthening the cardiovascular system, improving digestion, promoting healthy blood pressure, increasing endurance, nourishing the internal organs, and normalizing the nervous and hormonal systems.  A member of the cucumber family, it grows in five-leaf clusters and is a low-lying vine.
