Navigating Stress the Natural Way
Deadlines, screens, and constant noise can leave anyone feeling on edge. No wonder more people are looking to plants for gentle, non-habit-forming support. One of the biggest wellness trends? Adaptogens—herbs and functional mushrooms used for centuries to help the body adapt to stress.
At Rive Wellness, we’ve taken these traditional allies and paired them with hemp-based cannabinoids in THC-free gummies designed for today’s lifestyle. They’re there when you need them — not something you have to take every day.
What Are Adaptogens?
Adaptogens are a unique class of herbs and functional mushrooms that help the body modulate its stress response. Instead of pushing you “up” or “down,” they encourage balance — supporting adrenal health, regulating cortisol, and helping you return to center.
Some of the most widely studied adaptogens include:
-
Ashwagandha — soothes tension, lowers cortisol, and promotes deep calm.
-
Rhodiola rosea — boosts mental clarity and physical endurance without jitters.
-
Holy basil (Tulsi) — balances stress hormones and promotes emotional resilience.
-
Ginseng — enhances energy and stamina during challenging times.
For centuries, these plants have been brewed as teas or tinctures in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and other healing systems.
Why Combine Adaptogens with Cannabinoids
Your body also has an endocannabinoid system (ECS) that influences mood, sleep, and stress. CBD and minor cannabinoids (like CBN and CBC) interact with the ECS to calm the nervous system and support homeostasis.
When you combine adaptogens with cannabinoids you get a layered, plant-based way to soothe stress from multiple angles:
-
Adaptogens help your body adjust to stressors.
-
Cannabinoids support your ECS and bring the nervous system toward balance.
-
Together they can create a gentle sense of calm or clarity — without intoxication.
This is exactly why Rive formulas combine both adaptogens and cannabinoids — to give you the best of plant science in a single, predictable serving.

Ways to Use Rive’s Adaptogen + Cannabinoid Blends
Everyone’s rhythm is different. Some people like to reach for:
A Rive Joy Gummy (CBD + Cordyceps + Lion’s Mane + Rhodiola) supports focus and uplift. Pair it with a few deep breaths and a short visualization.
Midday Reset:
Stress creeping in? Rive Relax Gummy (CBD + CBC + Chaga + King Trumpet + Tart Cherry + L-Theanine + linalool terpenes) helps calm your nervous system without grogginess.
Evening Wind-Down:
Rive Sleep Gummy (CBD + CBN + Tremella + Reishi + L-Theanine + a whisper of melatonin + linalool terpenes) gently cues your circadian rhythm without the “knocked out” feeling of traditional sleep aids.
These targeted stacks turn adaptogens and cannabinoids into a seamless ritual — morning clarity, midday calm, and restorative sleep at night. Use them occasionally or in moments when you want extra support.
Safety & Quality Considerations
Adaptogens and cannabinoids are generally well-tolerated, but it’s always wise to:
-
Check with a healthcare provider if you’re on medication or have health conditions.
-
Choose products with third-party testing for potency and purity.
-
Start with one gummy to see how you respond before increasing.
If you’re on medication or have underlying health conditions, consult your healthcare provider first.
