STIMULANTS
Herbs to increase physical and mental energy & endurance, to arouse the senses and heighten awareness. Common stimulants such as coffee or black tea are unbalancing to the central nervous system, over activating the adrenal glands and depleting the bodies natural energy reserves. Though some of the stimulants we supply contain caffeine or related alkaloids, these often occur along with other compounds that are more nourishing and balancing to the body. Still, we urge that all stimulants containing caffeine alkaloids (xanthines) be used with respect and care. For further information on the xanthine rich herbs and other stimulants we recommend Dale Pendell’s exciting book PharmakoDynamis. The xanthine containing stimulants that we carry are: Cacao Seed, Guarana, and Kola Nut. The xanthine free herbs with stimulating properties we offer are: American Ginseng, Chlorella, Chuchuhuasi, Cordyceps, Eleuthero Root, Ginkgo Leaves, Muira-Puama, Red Ginseng, Rhodiola Root, Spirulina, Suma Root, Tibetan Rhodiola, Turkey Tail Mushroom, and White Ginseng.
