Insider Immune Hack: My Favorite Adaptogens for Immune Support!
Read on for an immune hack most people never try. đź’Ą
Ever noticed that you’re more likely to get sick when you’re burning the candle at both ends and pushing the limits of your stress?
That’s because stress triggers cortisol.
While cortisol suppresses inflammation in the short term, over time it weakens the immune system to be less effective at fighting off invaders.
That’s where adaptogens come in!
Adaptogens are herbs that strengthen the body’s resilience on many levels—from stress to hormones to immune function.
You may have heard of…
🌱 Tulsi (Holy Basil)
🌱 Ashwagandha
🌱 Rhodiola
🌱 Reishi
Sometimes adaptogens can interact with medications or health conditions, so please consult with me before adding supplements or even teas.
This is what we do best in naturopathic medicine!
