Major Causes of Adrenal Insufficiency

By Sidney Allison


The adrenals are crescent formed and are composed of various layers that secrete numerous substances, such as adrenaline, cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine. The glands are situated above the kidneys. If not treated, the insufficiency in hormones in the body can cause serious depression and a type of prolonged muscle discomfort called fibromyalgia.

By adding two tablespoons of flax oil to your food each day you will aid your whole body to work better and more healthily. 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 impacted by adrenal fatigue became compulsive about sport and this should be seen as a likely symptom. During periods 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 aware that you are experiencing other symptoms, it might be good to test for Adrenal Fatigue via a Practitioner 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 vegetables to replenish your body of all of the missing micronutrients. Avoid TV dinners and Fast Food and do a little daily exercise. This way your body will recover a lot quicker.

The supplements that treat Adrenal Fatigue are often 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 replenished with cortisol-like substances then the glands have an opportunity to rest and regenerate.

In Normal Chinese Medicine the "kidney yang" corresponds to the strength of the adrenal glands. By going to a practitioner of TCM you can simply and effectively discover if you suffer with adrenal fatigue symptoms by doing a simple "reading of the pulse".

From a muscular aspect adrenal fatigue causes dreadful shortage of energy. It could also cause muscle weakness and discomfort in the joints and muscles. You will 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 normal body temperature. Sleeplessness could happen but should be considered as a symptom and not a basis for the other infirmities.

Millions of folk around the world suffer at the hands 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 weakening and effect the way that you function in the world .

Adrenal Fatigue is also referred to as hypoadrenia and it occurs when the adrenal glands are exhausted and they cannot deal with the producing 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 function correctly.
