Natural Cures for Adrenal Fatigue and other Adrenal Problems

Natural Cures for Adrenal Fatigue and other Adrenal Problems
Our adrenal glands are essential for many bodily processes. These glands produce various essential hormones needed by every bodily system. When either too much or too little of a hormone is produced, there is a major problem. However, there are a number of disorders which interfere with the proper functioning of the adrenal glands. Natural remedies can help to boost our energy levels, making it easier to deal with the problem.

Cushing's Syndrome occurs when too much cortisol is produced, causing physical abnormalities and a complex set of symptoms. Prolonged use of steroids produces similar symptoms. This is most commonly caused by tumors of the adrenal or pituitary glands. Cushing's sufferers normally have 'moon' faces and 'buffalo' humps (fat between the shoulders). Other common problems associated with Cushing's are obesity, hypertension, diabetes, excessive body hair, weakness and menstrual and/or sexual difficulties.

Cancer of the Adrenal Gland are very rare, identified by an overproduction of hormones. Excess amounts of cortisol and masculizing hormones may be produced.

Tumors of the Adrenal Glands may be cancerous or benign and are normally surgically removed.

Adrenal fatigue occurs when the adrenal glands function at a lower level than is required. The most common symptom is extreme fatigue which is not helped by sleep or rest. It can arise during periods of prolonged stress or after acute or chronic infection. It is often undiagnosed for some time as the onset can be gradual and people assume that they are 'just tired'.

Many of us who experience adrenal fatigue wonder if there is any end in sight, often questioning, “Will I always be tired?” It's necessary to make lifestyle changes in order to feel better. Natural cures for adrenal fatigue include simple home remedies, especially apple cider vinegar and Vitamin B complex. Often, adrenal fatigue is a lifestyle problem, but even when we know we should, it's hard to slow down. Natural remedies will increase energy levels, and who doesn't need that?

Natural Remedies to Boost Our Energy Levels

1. Vitamin B-Complex The B vitamins are responsible for metabolism in the body and help boost energy levels naturally.

2. Licorice Root Licorice root helps the body use cortisol, a hormone that helps keep the body more effectively balanced, which also improves energy levels.

3. Coconut Oil Virgin, organic coconut oil is a well-balanced fat. When paired with a whole foods diet, coconut oil helps sustain energy levels.

Unfortunately, adrenal fatigue is not a condition that manifests overnight, so it can�TMt be fixed overnight either. If you are dealing with this condition, stick to a strict regimen of reducing stress, staying active and using nutritional supports. Over time, you willl see the difference.
