Are you looking to boost resilience? Our fast-paced, modern world can be demanding on our time and energy, leaving us with little to no capacity for life outside of our obligations. Chronic stress levels, poor sleep, and illness are on the rise, and many folks are reconnecting with the natural world to get grounded. Nature provides in so many ways, and leaning on herbs and mushrooms with adaptogenic properties can work wonders for helping prevent burnout.

Herbs for Preventing Burnout
Eleuthero
Eleuthero is also commonly known as Siberian ginseng. It’s an adaptogen – an herb that helps the body adapt to the highs and lows of life – that combats stress and fatigue while supporting the immune system and central nervous system (1). This herb gently energizes the body and mind while guiding us to feelings of grounded clarity.
Eucommia
Eucommia has a rich history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Japanese Medicine. This herbal ally boasts potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulating properties. In TCM, eucommia is used as a heart tonic, as it can reduce blood pressure, relax the blood vessels, and combat hypertension (2). A happy heart supports a calm nervous system.
Mushrooms for Preventing Burnout
Cordyceps
Research shows that Cordyceps extracts can drive energy to our cells, supporting elevated energy and endurance (3). In TCM, this functional mushroom is seen as a guardian of respiratory health for its ability to help the body use oxygen more efficiently during exercise (4, 5). This supports recovery after bouts of mental and physical fatigue.
Reishi
Reishi is a nerve tonic and adaptogen that can regulate cortisol levels, creating a more balanced nervous system (6). The polysaccharides in this functional mushroom are also shown to be protective against nervous system diseases due to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects (7). Reishi helps us stay grounded in our fast-paced world.
