Adaptogenic Modalities

Meaning

Clinical strategies utilizing specific botanical, nutritional, or lifestyle interventions designed to enhance the body’s non-specific resistance to stress. These modalities support the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function, promoting physiological homeostasis under conditions of chronic or acute stress. They are employed to stabilize endocrine system output, thereby improving overall resilience and mitigating stress-induced hormonal dysregulation. The goal is to modulate the stress response system rather than directly stimulating or suppressing hormone production.
