True to our nature, we’re always seeking simple yet powerful ways to support our health and wellbeing through daily rituals. One of our favourite ways to nourish the body is through the use of Adaptogens — herbs and natural substances that help the body combat stress and restore balance.  

Adaptogens (true to their name) adapt to each individual, going where they’re needed most and self-adjusting accordingly. They’ve been used for centuries in traditional medicine, and are prized for their ability to enhance resilience and promote overall vitality.  

At The Calmm, we stock a carefully curated selection of adaptogens from our friends at Evolution Botanicals — each chosen for its unique properties. Below is a guide to our selection, designed to help you find the perfect match for your needs. Pick your potion!

SHILAJIT 

A staple in Ayurvedic medicine, Shilajit was formed millions of years ago when two continents collided to create the Himalayan mountains. Over time, tropical forests were compressed beneath the mountains, transforming into a nutrient-dense biomass. Every summer, the earth releases Shilajit resin from this ancient material, making it one of the most potent medicinal substances available.  

Rich in Fulvic Acid, Shilajit is revered for supporting gut health, balancing hormones and enhancing skin vitality. It’s the first thing we reach for when we’re a little under the weather, burning the candle at both ends or just need an extra energy boost.
