Adaptogen is a term given to describe those gifts found in nature that have the ability to induce suitable adjustments in our body, at a cellular level, and act by helping us shield the body from various kinds of stresses while promoting the body’s innate self-rejuvenation mechanism. These agents reinforce the body’s defensive system thus controlling bodily processes and helping us move towards true health. An adaptogen is a biological remedy that helps bolster our natural resistance to illness and avoid stress from taking a toll on our nervous, hormonal and immune systems as well as elevate our body’s energy levels. Adaptogens aim to normalize body functions, and when the task is done, they are eliminated or absorbed back into the body with no secondary effects nor damage to the body, unlike chemical drugs.
modify our natural environment whenever we like, thanks to technology. Air conditioning, and plastics are just a part of the innumerable conveniences we are capable of controlling. Yet, however necessary or life-supporting these goods may appear in the short-term, in the long-run they are a double-edged sword, burdening us with unwanted side effects.
The Good Life?
Environmental side effects like the greenhouse effect and the various herbicides and other chemicals that are flooding our bloodstream are the most obvious answer to technology. These by-products of “The good life” are now representing a main problem for the adaptation and survival of various species and bio-systems that are found here, on planet Earth. The only way to survive such negative changes is to change ourselves and to adapt to a rapidly changing and tense environment.
As a society we seem focused on impeding our body’s natural ability to adapt by permanently pushing the environment to meet our every whim instead of us being the ones that change. In Darwinian terms, this is not a good prognostic for our species.
Rene Dubois, the humanist scientist declared, “This state of adaptedness confers a fake feeling of security because it doesn’t have a lasting value and doesn’t prepare for the future.” Dubois’ words shows us that we must be connected with our surroundings, not the other way round. This means that, instead of entrusting our body to pharmaceuticals or isolates from biological elements, it may be a better option to strengthen our body, our defensive system, and ourselves while developing an improved understanding of Nature’s gifts instead of abusing whatever new element we ingeniously take from nature, this is where adaptogens can be of great importance.
Fortunately for us there is a class of natural solutions available that can help the organism adapt better to its environment, whether that environment be drenched with harsh chemicals or just defined by rapid change. These gifts of Nature are called adaptogens, and can be offered by some biological skin care products.
