Eleuthero Root is one of my favorite herbs. It is considered an adaptogen, in fact it was the first herb labelled as such. Adaptogenic herbs help our bodies become more resilient in the face of stress.
There is actually a particular part of the brain that is impacted by adaptogenic herbs. It is called the HPA axis and it connects your brain (nervous system) and endocrine system.
H - hypothalamus
P - pituitary gland
A - adrenals
Basically adaptogens assist your brain and adrenals in talking to each other in a more efficient and harmonious way. That way, you are secreting stress hormones in the right quantities and at the right times.
Cortisol (a stress hormone) is not bad. We NEED cortisol to be able to get out of bed, to be motivated to do things in our lives, to make quick turns in traffic and avoid an accident, etc. etc. etc.
The issue is that many people have low levels of cortisol in the morning (when they should be higher) and high levels of cortisol throughout the day and night (when they should be lower). It's also an issue when you have smoldering, higher-than-normal levels of cortisol throughout the day.
Adaptogens like Eleuthero, taken daily over time, harmonize your brain/adrenal connection which then harmonizes the appropriate secretion of stress hormones by your body.
(An elixir is a tincture that also contains honey!)
NOTE: Recommendations on dosage and usage will arrive with your package!

I'll be sending you a physical package in the mail that has the tincture (homegrown and homemade by me), the zines which are also hard copies, as well as an email with your digital copy of the Intro to Herbalism + Probiotic Sodas Ebook.
Thanks you so much for your love and support! Katie
