Adapta-whats? Yeah, that was my first reaction when I starting hearing all the hype around these miracle-working, plant-based power foods. But, despite the act ua l scientific na me for t hem, seems I’ve been incorporating plenty of these wonder drugs into my diet over the last year and didn’t even realise it – and you probably have been, too! Turn to page 9 to read all about them. Since my diagnosis of adrenal fatigue I’ve turned to these Ayurvedic herbs to help support the healthy function of not only my nervous system, but my adrenal glands, incorporating 3.PURE MINERAL MAKEUP powerful adaptogens like ashwagandha, centella asiatica, THAT NOURISHES YOUR SKIN dashamoola, triphala and tulsi to name a few. I mix them up on the stove with almond milk, and have them every night before bed, adding a little turmeric blend and honey to up the 2.CERTIFIED CRUELTY-FREE anti-inflammatory effects. It tastes like warm nut milk and I BY CCIC have certainly seen a vast improvement in my sleep patterns and general day-to-day energy. If you feel like you could do with a bit of a boost - I encourage you to seek advice from a practitioner on the best herbs for you. Speaking of rest and rejuvenation, we also paid a visit to Melbourne’s hottest new relaxation destination, Willow Urban Retreat (featured page 22). Here, I’ve learned all about the art of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian healing modality and, to be honest, I’m head over heels with its philosophies. So with winter well and truly set in, perhaps it’s time to hibernate a little more, delve deeper into what your body is needing, up your self-love and explore some things that may not necessarily be your norm. 4.THE ORIGINAL SKINCARE MAKEUP Br o o k e M er e d it h EDITOR A CONSCIOUS COLLECTION EXTEND YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE WITH JANE IREDALE MINERAL MAKEUP. OFFERING CLEAN FORMULAS THAT NURTURE YOUR SKIN. EDITOR’S LETTER / ISSUE NINE JANEIREDALE.COM.AU 8 9 A CONSCIOUS COLLECTION A CONSCIOUS COLLECTION MAGIC MUSHROOMS Functional medicine practitioners have long touted the healing power of plants. And, if the hype is anything to go by, the wellness industry’s latest obsession might be the next big game-changer. TIANNA NADALIN writes. ou know you’re onto a good thing (or at least a controversial one) when the wellness guru herself, Gwyneth Paltrow, is singing its praises. But while adaptogens might be, to quote Mugatu, so hot right Ynow, healing herbs are far from a new concept. They have been used by Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors to treat a range of ailments and maladies for centuries. But it wasn’t until the term was officially coined by Russian scientist N.V. Lazarev in 1947 (who used it to describe a non-specific effect that increases the body’s resistance to stress) that the rest of the world started to catch on. Now, with the explosion of supplements and superfoods onto the market, as well as influential wellness cognoscenti touting their incredible benefits, it seems only natural that adaptogenic herbs have become the latest must-have accessory to add to your health toolkit. SO, WHAT ARE THEY? Adaptogens are herbs that can reduce the effects of stress on the body. Whether that stress is psychological, physiological or related to something else entirely, these healing herbs can help to normalise and restore functions that have been altered by stress. But what does that really mean, you ask? Like their name suggests, adaptogens help the body adapt. While they don’t perform a specific action or function per se, they can upregulate or downregulate a particular response to restore homeostasis and return the body to a perfect state of balance. Stressed out? They’ll help calm you down. Tired? They’ll give you an energy boost. Low libido? They help get you, er, in the mood. And that’s not to mention the myriad beauty benefits of including these exquisite elixirs in your diet (hello, dewy skin and shiny hair). » HEALTH / ISSUE EIGHT HEALTH / ISSUE NINE 10 A CONSCIOUS COLLECTION HOW DO THEY WORK?
