The use of adaptogens stems from traditional Chinese medicine & ancient Ayurvedic practices and treatments.

//

What is an Adaptogen? : an herb or mushroom that increases the body’s resistance to physical, environmental, emotional, or biological stressors and promotes normal physiological function, enabling the body to rest in homeostasis (optimal balanced state).

They are non-toxic substances that non-specifically increase the resistance of an organism to a wide range of harmful influences and normalizes its functions.

Adaptogens help to lessen our stress triggers, and recover faster in response to stress…all while increasing and maintaining overall stress resilience. 

Think of them like a stress raincoat— they help stress roll off of us, rather than absorb it.

These incredible super-plants work to treat stress symptoms in a multifaceted way. Oppositely, pharmaceutical drugs only address one symptom at a time. Adaptogens adapt their function according to your body’s specific needs.

*They strengthen the immune, nervous, & glandular systems. 

Edible plant extracts such as roots of plants, their berries, and leaves, along with fungi mushrooms are examples of adaptogenic sources.

3 main Classifications: 

1- an adaptogen is a substance that is non-toxic in a normal therapeutic dose.

 2- it creates a non-specific state of resistance, meaning it helps you to resist stress regardless of the cause. So it could be psychological stress, environmental stress, physiological stress. It doesn't matter what the cause, it helps you to handle stress more effectively and more appropriately. 

3- it has what would be considered a systemic amphoteric effect, meaning it helps to normalize systemic function on a wide range of organs and tissues in the body.

How they Work :  

These incredible super-plants work through your hormonal and nervous systems to help your body cope with stress more effectively. This “multiple-pathway action” is known as “network pharmacology,” and is the opposite of pharmaceutical drugs, which are “one drug, one action.” Adaptogens adapt their function according to your body’s specific needs.

They work through one of the two master control systems in the body: the HPA axis (hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis), which is the interface between the endocrine system, the nervous system, the immune system, the gut/brain so the digestive system, male and female reproductive system, or cardiovascular system including the hormonal aspect of the heart. 

The other control system is the SAS, or the sympatho adrenal system, which is your fight or flight. The HPA deals with chronic stress primarily whereas the SAS primarily deals with acute stress.

Traditionally in the Ayurvedic practices, it’s all about mixtures. The sum is greater than its part. They work synergistically, or meaning, they work together, and one active constituent benefits another. Each adaptogen’s benefits are even greater when mixed with each other. We blend a variety of complimentary adaptogens to create elevated and synergistic efficacy, and ultimate wellbeing.

:::

***They are not an overnight phenomenon; after a 2-4 week consistent practice you will feel their effects, reap the benefits daily, and throughout the entirety of each day onwards as you continue to take them. 

:::

***Adaptogen blends are best taken daily in hot water, tea, coffee, a smoothie, etc. with a splash of your choice milk or other fat that best serves your digestion. (Food nutrients are best absorbed with the addition of a fat.)

How to use your Anoint Daily adaptogen blend :

***D I R E C T I O N S ::: Mix a 1/2 teaspoon into your daily morning coffee, tea, smoothie, cup of hot water, or choice beverage.— Nutrients are most optimally absorbed with a touch of fat added to your drink.— (A splash of your favorite milk is a great option!)— Take 1 heaping teaspoon if feeling extra depleted. 

:::

Get all of the bits at the bottom of the cup!— pour in a touch of water— swirl, and imbibe!

***If you are taking other medications, pregnant, or breastfeeding, please consult with your physician. I recommend, taking your adaptogen with an hour window between taking any medication. I am not a doctor- this is a personal recommendation, and is solely derived from personal and client experiences.

    “Anoint Daily’s adaptogens help me gain the balanced energy my body needs. I used to be on the 2, 3 and sometimes more cups of coffee a day that left me with an anxious energy that wasn’t sustainable. Anoint Daily’s adaptogenic blend gives me the balanced energy I need to get me through my day as both a mom and an entrepreneur. Taking the adaptogenic blend religiously has helped me feel happier, healthier and more energetic.”

    “These specially designed adaptogens for my stomach issues have made a world of difference. My acid reflux has all but vanished and I don’t have the bloat I used to either. I believe they’re all around healing my gut and giving me more energy as well. I also think they’ve built up my immune system because I have not been sick since I started using them about six months ago.”

    “As someone who works in a high stress work environment—I love my job: both rewarding but stressful— I previously looked to anti-anxiety meds to deal with my anxiety and stress that was more prevalent than before but with any medication it has its side affects. I’m always looking for ways to better balance my life so when I was referred to Tori and her work I was intrigued. Time and time we’ve seen that natural remedies are able to heal the body so I figured why not give it a shot. Tori was very informative on what everything was and very attentive and responsive. What I’ve found in my search for other holistic alternative medicine solutions is that sometimes those selling you are very against modern medicine and tell you not to trust doctors. I feel Tori is very balanced in that she still encourages one to consult their primary care doctors if they have any concerns and questions and I think there needs to be that balance because it shouldn’t be completely one way or another. It took a few weeks to really notice the difference, I will say consistency is key but from a physical aspect I’ve noticed my body doesn’t hold tension in places I noticed a lot of tension before and in general have been told by others that I’m not as reactive in situations that I have been in the past.”

    “My daily adaptogen mix has helped immensely to bring my mind and body into balance. My depression has diminished (boy problems aside!) I have fewer bathroom emergencies (why does this happen as an adult?)! I am especially grateful to Tori for working with me on a monthly basis to create a custom blend to adapt(ogen) to my ever changing needs and priorities. It’s just nice to know there’s someone who really wants to make every day my best day, ya know?”

    “They’ve helped my energy levels, recovery from long and stressful work weeks, and overall mood in leaps and bounds. It’s so easy to add to my morning coffee. I bring it with me everywhere.”
