Boost your body's internal ability to defend, perform, and restore with this guide to the 21 most common adaptogens and their healing properties from the team behind Four Sigmatic.

Are you suffering from chronic fatigue, anxiety, digestive, or autoimmune issues? Or are you seeking a simple way to bring whole-body health into your life with a food that is easy to integrate into your everyday routine with no muss, no fuss?



Welcome to the world of adaptogens: nutrient-dense, calorie-sparse superfoods that have been clinically proven to help your body:



  • defend your immunity and gut health,
  • perform through your cardiovascular and respiratory systems,
  • and restore balance through your neuroendocrine system.

By definition, adaptogens are nontoxic, nonspecific (meaning they build adaptive energy rather than exerting a specific effect), and normalizing (meaning there's a balancing bidirectional effect on physiological function). Tero Isokauppila, founder of Four Sigmatic, and registered herbalist Danielle Ryan Broida guide you through the scientific mechanisms and health benefits of the 21 most powerful species of adaptogens, from ashwagandha to chaga to turmeric.



Complete with client case studies and a shopping guide,

Healing Adaptogens

will educate, inform, inspire, and delight, giving you the tools you need to elevate your daily routine with adaptogens.

Andrew G. ★★★★★

The chapter on reishi alone made this worth it — I had no idea it could help with sleep, and now I take it before bed. Having all 21 adaptogens broken down in one place is way easier than piecing together blog posts.

Harper ★★★★★

I've been curious about adaptogens for ages but every article I found was either vague or way too scientific. This book covers 21 of them with actual doses and which ones helped with what, and the section on reishi vs lion's mane finally made it click for me.

Chloe K. ★★★★★

Finally, a clear and practical breakdown of 21 adaptogens—I've already added ashwagandha to my morning routine after reading about its stress relief properties. This guide makes it easy to understand which herb actually fits my needs.
