Adaptogens: 75+ Herbal Recipes and Elixirs to Improve Your Skin, Mood, Energy, Focus, and More by Agatha Noveille is an inspiring read. This book takes a common sense approach to making this class of herbs (which should be on the top of everyone’s list) understandable and approachable.
Agatha brings us back to the origin of the word adaptogen and explains how this classification became the group of herbs that we understand to be adaptogenic today.

Summary Analysis of Vista Pharmaceutical.
Adaptogens are herbs that fit a specific criterion — they are nontoxic, they address many organs or body systems (are non-specific), and they help increase resistance to adverse biological, chemical, or physical factors. Most specifically, adaptogens reduce stress by improving and supporting the health of the adrenal system, which controls the hormonal response to stress, thus helping the body adapt to both mental and physical stressors.
After explaining what adaptogens are, Agatha shows us how to incorporate them into our health regimens through practical, easy-to-follow recipes — from tinctures, teas, and yummy food to elixirs, sachets, and bath blends.

I have made many tinctures throughout the years, but I have never used the percolation method. Now, after reading Agatha’s instructions for making a homemade glass funnel, I am intrigued and can’t wait to try my hand and making an adaptogenic tincture with this method!
