Adaptogenic herb are herbs that will help you adapt to changes in life, environment and may increase stamina and sports performance. They are gaining ground as treatments for stress and fatigue.
Herbs that have the ability to enhance the body-mind's capacity to adapt optimally and accurately to changes in the environment are known as adaptogenic herbs.
The term is fairly new from the 1950's, the adaptogenic effect was first introduced in 1947 by Russian scientist N.V. Lazarev. He defines adaptogens as "substances meant to put the organism into a state of non-specific heightened resistance in order to better resist stresses and adapt to extraordinary challenge." Adaptogens may be taken as food and tend to normalize the bodies functions. The Russians have done the most research on the adaptogenic herb Siberian ginseng (eleuthero root) where it is used to increase resistance to cold, flu and stress.
It "must be innocuous and cause minimal disorders in the physiological functions of an organism, it must have a nonspecific action, and it usually has a normalizing action irrespective of the direction of the pathological state."
In order for an herb to be classed as an adaptogen:
1. It must cause only minimal disorders in the body's physiological functions
2. Must increase body's resistance to adverse influences
3. Must have an overall normalizing effect, improving all kinds of conditions and aggravating none.
These originally were set during Lazarevs studies of a chemical substance called dibazole. His student I.I. Brekhman changed the focus to natural substances.
Many Chinese herbs have exactly these properties, and not by coincidence, they are all in the superior class of herbs, also known as the tonics. Adaptogenic herbs are plants with properties that exert a normalizing influence on the body, neither over-stimulating nor inhibiting normal body function, but rather exerting a generalized tonifying effect.

Origins: Schisandra is a woody vine with numerous clusters of tiny, bright red berries. It is distributed throughout northern and northeast China and the adjacent regions of Russia and Korea.1 The fully ripe, sun-dried fruit is used medicinally. It is purported to have sour, sweet, salty, hot, and bitter tastes. This unusual combination of flavors is reflected in schisandra's Chinese name wu-wei-zi, meaning "five taste fruit."

(family Schisandraceae), a vine native to China. Its ancient folkloric use in China was as an antiseptic, astringent, tonic, and the like. During the last decade or so, Chinese doctors began using the drug to treat hepatitis, and a few studies have been done of its potential for liver-protective effects and the nature of its active constituents.
Western herbal advocates now acclaim schisandra as an "adaptogen," an agent supposedly capable of increasing the body's resistance to disease, stress, and other debilitating processes. Schisandra is said to "increase energy, replenish and nourish viscera, improve vision, boost muscular activity and affect the energy cells of the entire body." One marketer claims that its schisandra product can "help to combat damage that can lead to premature aging." Another notes that its product is "'capable of providing a more healthy, active and longer lifespan."
