An illustrated guide to adaptogens

Paula Grainger’s guide brings herbs and fungi together through an introduction to adaptogens, their history and the science discussed in the book. It covers familiar ingredients such as ashwagandha, maca, turmeric and rosemary, alongside mushrooms including reishi, lion’s mane and cordyceps. Practical sections show ways the ingredients can be incorporated into smoothies, teas, tonics, lattes, desserts and beauty preparations. The updated edition adds recipes and information on fungal adaptogens, giving the book both an explanatory and a recipe-based structure. Its health-related claims are presented as part of the book’s subject matter, rather than as independent medical guidance.
