Restorative Adaptogens

Adaptogens are non-toxic herbs and roots that have been used for centuries in Chinese and Ayurvedic healing traditions. Simple put adaptogens help the body maintain balance or bring us back to the middle.

Ashwaganda is one of the most popular adaptogens for restoration. Ashwagandha has been shown to soothe long-term sources of stress and the hormone imbalances that may result from it.

Ylang Ylang essential oil
Sourced from the flowers of Cananga odorata (a plant native to the Philippines and Indonesia), ylang ylang essential oil is said to offer a variety of health benefits.
One of the main components of ylang ylang essential oil is linalool, a compound found to possess stress-reducing properties in a number of preliminary studies.

Researchers determined that ylang ylang essential oil can help promote relaxation and decrease blood pressure. Studies also found that ylang ylang essential oil may help improve mood. Therefore bsorbing ylang ylang essential oil through the skin may help reduce stress levels.

Aromatherapy

Clary Sage essential oil
Aromatherapy uses the power of scent to calm the mind and reduce feelings of anxiety. Your olfactory system directly affects the part of your brain that regulates emotion.

Clary sage (Salvia sclarea) is a flowering herb that’s native to the Mediterranean Basin. The essential oil that’s extracted from the leaves and buds of the plant has a clean, refreshing scent. When used in our bath soak, clary sage oil can help alleviate stress by inducing a sense of well-being.
