Avoiding Stress Is Hard To Do In Todays Fast World.
Your two adrenal glands lie just above each of kidneys, and they are responsible for the hormones that initiate the flight or fight response to stress, and also the way you handle stress. Cortisol is the hormone that primarily determines how you react to stress, while adrenalin and noradrenalin determine whether you stand and fight when threatened, or take flight to avoid undue danger. The adrenals also generate androgens and estrogen, though these are mainly produced in the testes and ovaries respectively.
When you suffer long periods of stress, such as long-term illness or worry over financial problems or job loss, your adrenals can slow down their production of cortisol and your ability to handle stress gradually fails. This results in sleeplessness, long periods of tiredness and a progressive slowing down of your vital organs. It is imperative that you receive the correct treatment, yet many doctors do not recognize the condition of adrenal fatigue as a genuine one.
By taking substances such as the ancient Chinese remedy schizandra, that improves your ability to handle depression and stress, or andrographis that appears to have a stimulating effect on your adrenals, you can overcome this condition and both you and your adrenal glands get back to their normal selves.
Avoiding stress is the best way to recover from adrenal fatigue, but this is virtually impossible now a days. Taking herbal remedies like Schizandra and a good B-Complex can help you recover from adrenal fatigue and reduce the feeling of fatigue.
