Abstract

This chapter presents evidence from human clinical trials relating to "adaptogens," that is, herbal treatments which have been found to be effective in facilitating optimal performance in times of stress, as well as addressing acute symptoms of anxiety. These treatments are most relevant for acute supplementation, although also can be used as chronic treatments. • Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) • Roseroot (Rhodiolarosea) • Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica) • Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) • Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis).
