Combating Chronic Inflammation 0
Controlling Inflammation has come to be seen as integral to maintaining health. Over half the people who die do so from a chronic inflammatory condition, Heart disease, cancer, diabetes, infections, autoimmune diseases and many other potentially terminal conditions involve inflammation- either as the primary or contributing cause of death.

So what is inflammation exactly, and why is it so perfidious? How do we control it?

Need Energy? Last, Don’t Crash- The World of Adaptogens 0
Adaptogens are substances derived from plants that can “non-specifically enhance the human body”. These substances come from a range of plants, with the most important being Panax Ginseng and others in the Ginseng family including Eleuthero, Schisandra, Ashwagandha, Holy Basil, and Rhodiola. These plants have been utilized by numerous cultures to combat the effects of stress, anxiety, and fatigue- particularly when those effects seem to be generalized and not from one specific event. Likewise, a hallmark of these adaptogens is that they work as general mood enhancers, stress relievers, and energy boosters, sometimes through many different pathways.
