Adaptogens...


Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief

We all deal with stress every day, and every day our bodies strive to adapt and stay balanced and healthy. In Adaptogens, authors David Winston and Steven Maimes provide a comprehensive look into adaptogens, non-toxic herbs such as ginseng, eleuthero, and licorice, that produce a defensive response to stress in our bodies.

Formerly known as rejuvenating herbs or tonics, adaptogens help the body to “adapt” to the many influences it encounters. They increase stamina and counter the normal effects of aging and thus are becoming important tools in sports medicine and in the prevention and treatment of chronic fatigue and other stress-related disorders.

Winston and Maimes present the historical uses of these herbal remedies in India, Russia, China, and the Americas and explain how they work and why they are so effective at combating stress-induced illness. Monographs for each adaptogen also present the latest scientific research and include the origin, traditional use, actions, properties, preparation, and dosage for each herb.

ISUN Ruby Facial Oil



"Our nourishing, moisture-balancing facial herb-oils are pure integrity with absolute organic vitality. Nourishing blends of concentrated plant-infused oils with synergistic essential oils and the subtle energies of corresponding gemstones, are rich in plant-based antioxidants and skin-calming properties. A high level of essential fatty acids support a healthy moisture barrier protection that promotes balanced skin hydration for all skin types. Unlike creams that can clog pores, pure, deep-penetrating oils do not. The natural active antioxidant properties of the herbs and oils help prevent premature aging in young skin and slow down signs of aging in more mature skin. Each oil is individually formulated to support a healthy complexion for three basic skin types – dry, normal and sensitive, and oily. The holistic effect of each oil is enhanced with the subtle energizing qualities of a gemstone included in every bottle of oil."
