There’s no better time than the present to start working on your wellness routine, though most people use January as an opportunity to implement new, healthy habits. For some, it’s as simple as taking a month off from drinking alcohol, while others try new diets, workout routines and lifestyle changes. If you’re hoping to swap your favorite cocktail with something that leaves you feeling euphoric instead of hungover, you’ll love what adaptogen drinks have to offer.

For those unfamiliar, an adaptogen refers to “herbs and other plant materials that help the human body adapt to stress,” as Everyday Health explains. “They can enhance physiological processes towards homeostasis — balance — over time, or as the body becomes ‘adapted,'” “This is Your Brain on Food” author Uma Naidoo, MD, tells the outlet. “Many people turn to adaptogens as a more natural way to manage ailments, including stress, fatigue, and poor sleep.” Next time you’re feeling sluggish, mix up one of these recipes!
