Prime Reasons for Adrenal Insufficiency

By Sidney Allison


The adrenals are crescent shaped and are composed of various layers that secrete numerous substances,eg adrenaline, cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine. The glands are situated above the kidneys. If not treated, the inadequacy in hormones in the body can cause serious depression and a type of chronic muscle ache called fibromyalgia.

By adding two big spoons of flax oil to your food every day you will aid your whole body to work better and more healthily. Giving your body all of the elements it needs and all of the time it requires to heal, is the true natural way of restoring your balance.

Some folks influenced by adrenal fatigue became compulsive about sport and this needs to be seen as a possible symptom. During times of exercise the adrenal glands are "forced" into action and the body finally receives its dose of much needed hormones. This can often lead to a "sport addiction" of sorts and if you become aware you are experiencing other symptoms, it would be smart to test for Adrenal Fatigue through a Consultant in Conventional Chinese Medication.

You can take a calcium magnesium supplement and add sea-salt to your food to help your body reintegrate lost minerals and you ought to be eating 3-4 portions a day of fresh raw organic fruit and veg to replace your body of all the missing micronutrients. Avoid Television dinners and Junk Food and do a little daily exercise. This way your body will recover a lot quicker.

The natural supplements that treat Adrenal Fatigue are sometimes geared to normalizing the levels of the hormone called Cortisol present in the blood vessels. Cortisol has important anti-inflammatory properties and when the body is externally renewed with cortisol-like substances then the glands have an opportunity to rest and regenerate.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the "kidney yang" concurs with the power of the adrenal glands. By going to an expert of TCM you can simply and effectively find out if you suffer from adrenal fatigue symptoms by trying an easy "reading of the pulse".

From a muscular point of view adrenal fatigue causes harsh absence of energy. It could also cause muscle weakness and soreness in the muscles and joints. You may feel beat and drained even after many hours sleep or will feel light-headed and have strange food longings for salt, protein, or sugar. Low blood pressure is also a typical symptom and so is a lower than usual body temperature. Sleeplessness could happen but should be regarded as a symptom and not a reason for the other infirmities.

Millions of folk all over the world suffer because of this syndrome and sadly , most of them are misdiagnosed, sometimes as Addisson's disease, ie too not enough Cortisol or Hushing's disease, ie. too much cortisol. If not treated this syndrome can be seriously invalidating and effect the way in which you function in life.

Adrenal Fatigue is also called hypoadrenia and it occurs when the adrenal glands are exhausted and they cannot cope with the making of hormones requested by the body. The body goes on a downward spiral as not one of the organs gets the hormones they need to have to function properly.
