Sorbus: An Adaptogenic Herb

Also known as Mountain Ash, European Rowan, or even more generally as Rowan, Sorbus aucuparia is a deciduous tree that reaches 25-35 feet in height. With small clusters of white flowers, ripening to bright red fruit, Sorbus aucuparia is an especially hardy plant, growing in altitudes of up to 2000m and in colder temperatures.

Although it is often used as an ornamental plant and the berries as a culinary pairing with venison, Sorbus aucuparia is also an adaptogenic herb. Whether your body is overactive or underactive, an adaptogenic herb is said to bring it back to homeostasis. Because of all the stress we undergo on a daily basis, it’s easy for your body’s rhythm to get out of whack. However, adaptogenic herbs such as Sorbus aucuparia are used to not only return your body to normalcy, but to prevent future issues.
