Your body knows balance. We help you find it.

Adaptogenic plants from Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, combined with native medicinal herbs and the latest scientific findings.

Stress is one of the main factors behind premature aging. So the better we succeed at keeping body and mind in balance, the greater our chances of staying healthy longer and remaining physically and mentally fit even in old age, fully in the spirit of "longevity," the mindful and proactive approach to our health.

The rediscovery of anti-stress herbs

In the medical practice of traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, there are a handful of plants whose special spectrum of effects has been emphasized for 3000 years. It is the adaptogens and nootropics that help the body cope with a wide variety of stressful situations.

This depiction of the effect of adaptogens on stress was first published in 2010 in a National Library of Medicine publication by Alexander Panossian and Georg Wikman. It shows that while adaptogens don't prevent stress, they can noticeably balance out its intensity. Unlike stimulants such as coffee, which act in only one direction, adaptogens have a holistic, balancing effect. Stimulants are temporarily more intense in their effectiveness but often lead to overstimulation and imbalance, with side effects. Adaptogens, by contrast, remain effective even with prolonged use, they don't lead to tolerance and carry no potential for dependency.
