Adaptogens would make a wonderful tea for your husband, since they help the body and mind hold up under stress. (They have a tonic effect on the body and are safe for most people.) Read the July 2009 article "Energize with Eleuthero." We have an easy method for combining the mild adaptogen eleuthero (Eleutherococcus senticosus) with a smoothie. For a tea, you might try American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) with ginger (Zingiber officinalis) added to improve the taste. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum), rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) and ashwaganda (Withania somnifera) are other adaptogens that have a calming effect and may be helpful. While these herbs are generally safe, it’s always best to check with a health-care provider before using, especially if your husband takes any prescription medications. —Eds. 

In your November 2008 issue, in the center of the magazine is a chart called "20 Essential Herbs for Cooking and Healing.” Is this a poster for purchase? If it is not something that I can purchase, would it be possible to have another copy?
—Faye Wannlund, via www.herbcompanion.com

The poster you are referring to is not on sale, but thanks for the great idea. Perhaps we should offer this informative poster to our readers. In the meantime, you can purchase back issues of our magazine by calling (800) 456-5835.—Eds.
