Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera ), eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus ), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia ), and rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea )  are herbs known for their adaptogenic and calming properties, as well as for mitigating the effects of everyday stress and fatigue. Adaptogens modify the stress response through the regulation of homeostasis via several molecular networks, including modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and expression of multiple stress-related proteins, including neuropeptide Y.^1–3  Ashwagandha helps maintain levels of dopamine and other stress neurotransmitters already within the normal range and also acts as a GABA receptor agonist, all of which have the effect of calming the overall stress response.^4–6  In controlled trials, it has helped mitigate the effects of everyday stress and nervous tension in healthy adults, and maintain healthy levels of stress hormones already within the normal range.*^7–9   Eleuthero root includes eleutherosides, which support healthy energy levels and performance through mental and physical exertion, as well as support the immune system.*^10,11  Lavender oil may have a calming effect on both the central and sympathetic nervous systems, supporting a sense of relaxation and well-being.*^12,13  Rhodiola rosea  supports a  healthy stress response for optimal health and vitality.* It also helps support healthy cognitive function, mental alertness,  healthy energy levels, exercise performance, and a healthy mood.*^{14– 19}
