Webinar: Discovering Adaptogens: Stress-Reducing Herbs

September 2, 2020

Webinar on Adaptogens, Stress-Reducing Herbs

This webinar took place on Wednesday, September 2, 2020 from 2-3 p.m. ET.

During these stressful times there is a mad dash to find remedies that can help our bodies cope better. Adaptogens are a class of herbs that may offer some stress relief. The notion that some herbs are adaptogenic and can help the body adjust to a variety of stressors whether physical, environmental, metabolic, or psychological, has been around for centuries in Eastern medicine. As the science is evolving and more clinical studies are showing a relationship between herbal remedies and reductions in stress, Western medicine is becoming more attuned to adaptogens and how they work. 

Both in stores and on-line you can find myriad adaptogen-infused supplements, teas, protein powders, smoothies, and juices, but do they work? Vicki Shanta Retelny, RDN, defines adaptogens, highlights new and recent scientific findings and reviews commonly-known ones, and teaches you what you need to know as you recommend these herbal remedies to your patients and clients.
