Adaptogens 101
My heart used to pound over the smallest things. If someone sent a late email or left dishes in the sink, I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin.
I didn’t want to take anything heavy, so I tried something gentle: adaptogens.
A few weeks in, I noticed I wasn’t reacting the same way. I felt steady, like someone turned the dial down on my nervous system.

What Are Adaptogens, Really?
Adaptogens are herbs and roots that help your body deal with stress in a smoother way. They don’t knock you out or hype you up. They just make stress feel less loud. Some have been used in traditional health systems for hundreds of years. Others are getting more attention in modern wellness for how they support the body under pressure.
My Stress-Busting Trio
After a little trial and error, I found three that really help. Ashwagandha is my go-to for winding down in the evening. Rhodiola is better in the morning if I wake up dragging. Holy basil (also called tulsi) helps with that on-edge feeling in the middle of the day. They don’t work like flipping a switch. But taken regularly, they build calm like adding bricks to a wall.
The #1 Daily Health Habit
Between meetings, errands, and endless to-dos, your health should feel like a steady rhythm, not another task.
With 75+ vitamins, minerals and pro/prebiotics - it’s one of the easiest things you can do for your health –all for less than $3 a day.
How Long They Take to Work
These aren’t magic pills. With ashwagandha, I felt a difference after two weeks. Rhodiola was quicker, but I had to stop taking it after lunch or I couldn’t fall asleep later. With holy basil, I noticed I didn’t snap at little things. You’ll need to listen to your body, and give it time to adjust.
Daily Life, Adapted
I take ashwagandha after dinner. Rhodiola goes with my morning tea, but never later. Holy basil comes in a tea bag too, which makes it easy when I’m tense at work. I also keep a few capsules in my bag just in case. The routine is simple, and I feel better equipped to deal with what life throws at me.
Takeaway: A small daily adaptogen routine can help you feel steadier, even on hard days.
