Adaptogens are herbs that get their name from the Latin 'adaptare', which means to adjust. This is also exactly what these herbs provide support for. They possess the unique ability to adapt to the body's needs. They can have both a stimulating and a calming effect. Adaptogenic herbs are not yet very well known in Western medicine, whereas these healing herbs have been used in Eastern cultures for centuries.
