Major Causes of Adrenal Insufficiency


By Sidney Allison



The adrenals are crescent formed and are made from assorted layers that secrete varied substances, for example adrenaline, cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine. The glands are situated above the kidneys. If not treated, the deficiency in hormones in the body can end up in harsh depression and a form of prolonged muscular discomfort called fibromyalgia.

By adding two tablespoons of flax oil to your food every day you will help your entire body to work better and more smoothly. Giving your body all of the elements it needs and all the time it requires to heal, is the true natural way of restoring your balance.

Some folks affected by adrenal fatigue became compulsive about sport and this should be seen as a probable symptom. During times of exercise the adrenal glands are "forced" into action and the body ultimately receives its dose of much needed hormones. This can lead to a "sport addiction" of sorts and if you become conscious that you are experiencing other symptoms, it might be smart to test for Adrenal Fatigue via a Specialist in Standard Chinese Medicine.


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

The supplements that treat Adrenal Fatigue are often geared to normalizing the levels of the hormone called Cortisol present in the bloodstream. Cortisol has critical anti inflammatory properties and when the body is externally renewed with cortisol-like substances then the glands have a chance to rest and regenerate.

In Conventional Chinese Medicine the "kidney yang" corresponds to the power of the adrenal glands. By going to a practitioner of TCM you can easily and effectively find out if you suffer with adrenal insufficiency by doing a simple "reading of the pulse".

From a muscle-bound aspect adrenal fatigue causes harsh absence of energy. It may also cause muscle weakness and pain in the muscles and joints. You will feel beat and drained even after many hours sleep or will feel lightheaded and have unusual food longings for salt, protein, or sugar. Low blood pressure is also a standard symptom and so is a lower than usual body temperature. Insomnia could occur but should be accepted as a symptom and not a reason for the other illnesses.

Millions of people all across the globe suffer because of this syndrome and unfortunately , most of them are misdiagnosed, usually as Addisson's illness, ie too not enough Cortisol or Hushing's illness, ie. too much cortisol. If not treated this syndrome can be seriously debilitating and effect the way in which you function in the world .

Adrenal Fatigue is also called hypoadrenia and it occurs when the adrenal glands are exhausted and they can't deal 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 correctly.
