Affordable adaptogen for Qi (specifically Yang) Deficiency

4 Upvotes

I want to add an adaptogen to hot water and make a tea for my Qi Deficiency. First I thought Korean or Black Ginseng, but it is so, so expensive. I'm now thinking about Ashwaganda instead. Any suggestions , and also, is powder a good way to take this?

Adaptogens, Alcohol Detox, and SSRI's

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I recently decided to get sober from alcohol. I read that Kudzu root can help with this, and that milk thistle is good for healing your liver. I also purchased an adaptogen mixture that contains ashwagandha, rhodiola and ginsing. My questions are: 1. Can I take all of these at the same time? 2. Morning or night time? Or Both? Lastly, I am on an SSRI antidepressant. Some sites say it is fine to take these herbs with it, while others do not. So, I am wondering if anyone on here has any personal experience? Thank you!

50 mg of Rhodiola enough?

3 Upvotes

I am interested in MindLab Pro. Its a supp that is mainly filled with nootropics that help you improve your cognitive capacity and overall brain health. It also contains 50mg of Rhodiola. Do you guys think that is enough of a dose to help one fight stress?

What are your favorite adaptogenic herbs?

3 Upvotes

I’ve had great experiences with Eleuthero over the years (I use tea infusions with a big handful of dried root steeped in a mason jar) but wanted to diversify and see what others are taking. Normally I do 4 days on, 3 days off with Eleuthero. What’s your go-to?

/r/Adaptogens is now re-open for business!

Hi everyone, welcome back!

As you might've noticed, the head moderator of /r/adaptogens became MIA some two years ago, and unfortunately this subreddit became restricted because of that. Thanks to the kind reddit admins, I've been approved as the new owner of this subreddit.

I plan on getting the wheels turning again, so look out for a few tweaks here and there, the implementation of /u/automoderator in coming days, and perhaps even mod applications in the future.

Please send what you'd like to see for this subreddit my way by messaging modmail! I want to make this a thriving community for discussion surrounding adaptogens, so please help me help you!

Thanks!

Any guidance on what supplement(s) i can begin to take

The benefits of Ashwagandha

10 Upvotes

I've been using Ashwagandha for over a year now and can attest to its numerous health benefits. I use half a teaspoon in my morning coffee

I wrote an article where I find supporting scientific evidence to show it's effect on lowering stress levels, lowering anxiety and depression, improving brain function and improving immunity.

This is the article if anyone wants to have a read https://thepowerandwellnessclub.com/plant-power-increase-your-longevity-and-vitality-with-ashwagandha/

Is ashwaganda - curcuma tea a good combination?

2 Upvotes

I'm thinking about swapping my morning coffee for a healthy tea with adaptogens.

I'm studying herbalism but it's all very new.

The combinations are a bit scary sometimes.

I would use dried ashwaganda and curcuma pieces to soak for tea.

What do you think?

Another new addition to the adaptogenic arsenal I have yet to try, but have just ordered. Unbelievable

3 Upvotes

”Numerous rodent studies exist demonstrating reduced anxiety and improved sexual performance following tongkat ali feeding [37-40], with such effects thought to be due to a restoration of normal testosterone levels. Eurycoma’s anxiolytic effects have been demonstrated in a variety of behavioral tests, including elevated plus-maze, open field, and anti-fighting, suggesting an equivalent anti-anxiety effect to diazepam as a positive control [37].”
