adrenal fatigue

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I have just had a saliva cortisol test that showed my cortisol was at the bottom of range all day long. It should be much higher in the morning & then gradually fall during the day. I am taking action in many area of my life to try & rebuild my adrenal glands and I am wondering if you all or Doc have a recommendation from a herbal standpoint?

Thanks, Sarah

Hi Victoria,

I was reading some 'old' posts, and reading this part of the AF

thread, about your grandparents diet, and specifically you say

that we can eat a more varied diet than our favourite foods,

reminded me of a recommendation of Tibetan Medicine, to the

effect of; when you get sick, take a look at your habits,

favourite foods, etc, and stop eating them or at least cut them

down significantly.

levels

 

2. provide energy

 

3. increase the flexibility of blood vessels in order to lower blood

pressures and

 

4. decrease the stress on the heart

 

5. help the body utilize sugars better thus preventing diabetes as well

as decreasing the complications of diabetes – vision problems,

amputations, kidney problems

 

6. prevent dental caries and gum disease

 

7. improve memory and slow down dementia

 

8. prevent certain types of cancer

 

9. improve breathing problems

 

10. improve the quality of your skin

 

11. decrease the inflammation association with arthritis, fibromyalgia,

or any inflammatory disease

--- >Amalaki strengthens the body's immune system. The powerful

combination of ellagicacid and gallic acid destroys the free

radicals that damage the

immune system. But, it's the combination of your body's health

improvement and the added nutritional value that creates the most

impact for fighting disease. A body that feels younger feels

stronger. Combined with a positive mental awareness of your body's

strength are the aggressively potent

polyphenols to help the body increase its ability to target and

terminate harmful changes in your cellular instruction, which is

the ultimate cause of disease

 

You will instantly see results from introducing Amalaki to your

diet. Increased energy levels take place immediately upon intake in

much the same way a cup of coffee wakes a person up in the morning.

But, Amalaki's pure nutritional value maintains healthy energy

levels with a steady supply

throughout the day. Within two to three days of adding a constant

source of Amalaki to your diet, your body is completely clean of

waste that has been stored for days and even years. Fats are

starting to break down and you feel rejuvenated from the effects of

increased circulation. Your

cells are clean. Your blood stream is clean. Your life begins to

take on a whole new energy.

Also there are lots of negative information about Amalaki in the internet,

have you seen them? This is the first time I heard about this herb and I like

to know more about it because I have adrenalin problem too.

The book by Dr James WIlson entitled " Adrenal Fatigue: the 21st

century syndrome " is a very useful resource (both lifestyle and

nutritional suggestions) for adrenal fatigue.

I know all about adrenal fatique--two cases in my family.??My husband went to an

endocrinologist because his cortisol was out of whack.? Because he didn't have

Addison's disease the doc had no answer and suggested he go to a psychiatrist!

?We said, " No thanks. " ? Western medicine treats diseases, but not chronic

diseases.? Especially mental diseases.? Adrenal exhaustion is very under

diagnosed.

 

Maybe Ayurveda doesn't address adrenal fatigue directly, but I believe the

theory of Ayurveda is to bring the body into balance, not necessarily treat a

disease.?

 

The book " Adaptogens " by David Winston addresses the problem of adrenal distress

very well.? If you read this book you should be able to help yourself.? I use

some western herbs and some Ayurvedic, but like the concept of Ayurvedic

lifestyle, especially diet and body oils.? If you continue to eat the wrong food

for your body type on a regular basis, you put stress on your body.?

Do believe in simple things they work better than the modern medicine which is

there only for the material benefit of the pharma companies. It is a big

racket. 

being healthy is very easy. have a regulated life style and try the easy

stuff.it works some time just the salt works. Aloe vera is such a wonderful

thing. It is good for many an upset conditions.

Cortisol is a hormone manufactured by the adrenal glands which is vital to the

human body, without it the body dies. In adrenal fatigue the glands are

exhausted and do not make enough cortisol, which gives all other bodily chemical

imbalances.

Yes, aloe vera is good for pitta digestion and pitta skin disorders. Why should

we believe in simple unscientific things with no clinical evidence. So you are

suggesting a patient with addison adrenal failure should take aloe vera and

benefit? Perhaps, but they will die at the same time! There is NOTHING in aloe

vera which benefits the hormonal function of the adrenals and the steroid

cascade. I am not referring to allopathic medicine and pharma companies, I am

referring to orthomolecular medicine. Sodium works in adrenal fatigue patients

because these loose a lot of sodium because of the imbalance of low cortisol

affecting the aldosterone mechanism.
