Natural Adaptogen Offers Rejuvenation for Mind and Body
Many advances have been made to improve the quality of our lives. These advances, such as preservatives, climate control, pesticides, have by-products that have devastating effects on our stress levels,fitness, and peace-of-mind. Normally, we address these effects with synthesized remedies, as in skin care products. These remedies are often unnecessary because our bodies’ possess the ability for healing and regeneration. Natural adaptogenic elements, are an alternative to commercial skin care products,which can support these inherent processes.
Adaptogens occur naturally and produce suitable adjustments in our body at a cellular level. Adaptogens are natural and bolster our innate resistance to disease. These agents aid the body’s immune system and regulate body processes to help us achieve true and lasting health.They work to protect the body from stress by stimulating its own self-regeneration process. Adaptogens normalize body functions and are absorbed harmlessly into the body, unlike allopathic drugs. They help to prevent stress from damaging our nervous, hormonal and immune systems. They also increase the body’s energy level.
Pesticides, preservatives, petroleum, polyester and plastics etc. contribute to our unnatural environment. However important these things may seem in the short-term, they produce unwanted, long-term consequences, like dry skin. The Earth is subject to smog, the thinning ozone layer, and the greenhouse effect. We endure heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals that find their way into our bloodstreams, that may cause itchy skin.
Our modern culture debilitate our bodies’ natural tendency to adapt by constantly forcing the environment to meet our needs instead of vice versa. Our logical choice for survival is to increase our adaptability to our environment. Instead of leaning on pharmaceuticals and isolates to improve our well being or to fight rosacea or acne bacteria with chemicals, it may be best to empower our own immune systems. It is better to live harmoniously with nature, rather than bend it to our will. This is where adaptogens can be of great importance. These biological remedies can help the body conform better to its environment.
Research on adaptogens shows that they can improve the adaptive response in people suffering from dermatitis due to stress;they can minimize the systemic effects of chronic stressors. In the area of skin afflictions, adaptogenic elements serve to increase the body’s nonspecific reactions to stress and reduce adverse environmental effects.
As a society, we have become accustomed to running to the pharmacy in search for cures; perhaps it is time to look to nature in order to restore our natural condition. We are surrounded on every side by unnatural, man-made products which can give off harmful chemicals; therefore it is important to protect ourselves, mind and body, from these elements while still enjoying the fruits of modern living. Adaptogens really seem to offer us an opportunity to improve our health and vitality, naturally and chemical-free.
