Protecting against the negative effects of chronic stress

Science universally recognizes that your lifestyle plays a large part in determining your well-being. Living a balanced lifestyle that includes good hydration and sleep, daily movement, a nutritious diet, and healthy mental habits, such as gratitude journaling or meditation, along with strong social connections can go a long way in mitigating and preventing the negative effects of chronic stress.

Science (along with centuries old knowledge) have also shown us that certain plants called adaptogens have a natural ability to help the body manage stress hormones, like cortisol, and restore balance to the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. At Solle, we prioritize these unique plants in our herbal formulas for these reasons and encourage customers to pair them with healthy lifestyle habits for unmatched, protective benefits for their current well-being, as well as with their future longevity.
