According to a Russian Dr., I.I. Brekhmann, who popularized the concept of adaptogens through his research, there are 3 criteria that they must fulfill:

1. Do no harm, place no stress on the body.

2. Assist the body in adapting to a wide range of
internal stressors (emotions, noise, pollution) as well as
environmental ones.

3. Has an amphoteric (normalizing) effect on the
activity of several body systems - especially the nervous
system, hormonal system, and immune system.'
