Adaptogenic herbs that modify stress response that non-specifically increase resistance to various stressors, thereby promoting adaptation and survival. The stress response system can be divided into three parts: stressor, stress response, and stress performance. The stressor is the object that induces physical strain; therefore, a stressor may be biological (infection), physical (external force, extreme environment), chemical (medicine, ethanol), or psychological (sadness, argument). When an organism is exposed to a stressor, the neuroendocrine system of the body changes (Liao, He, Li, et al.,2018).
