Adaptogenic blend for burnout and chronic stress
Moderate evidenceHerbs in this remedy
About this remedy
This blend pairs rhodiola with ashwagandha — two complementary adaptogens that work on different parts of the stress response. Rhodiola is energizing and acts quickly on acute fatigue, while ashwagandha is calming and lowers cortisol over time. Together they help the body build resilience to chronic stress, easing both the wired and tired ends of burnout.
Preparation
Combine 200 mg rhodiola extract and 300 mg ashwagandha extract (or 1/2 tsp each of the powders) in warm water or milk. Add honey and a pinch of cinnamon. Stir well.
Dosage
Once daily in the morning or early afternoon. Use consistently for 4-8 weeks to build adaptogenic resilience. Cycle off for 1-2 weeks periodically.
Cautions
Avoid in bipolar disorder. Ashwagandha is in the nightshade family and may affect thyroid medication and autoimmune conditions. Both may interact with sedatives and thyroid drugs. Not for pregnancy.
