If someone is under stress or chronically fatigued, our adrenal system may need a little extra help. Herbs can help support our adrenal glands and restore our energy and vitality

2. Ashwagandha
-
Ashwagandha, also called Withania somnifera, is a small, perennial shrub with bright red berries. Indian Ayurvedic practitioners use the roots to treat stress, and the plant is also called Indian ginseng for its tonic effects.
-
In his 2003 book, "Medical Herbalism: The Science and Practice of Herbal Medicine," clinical herbalist David Hoffmann wrote that Ashwagandha would be good for supporting the adrenal medulla. This is the central part of the adrenal gland and is involved in the secretion of adrenaline and norepinephrine, both of which are necessary for the metabolism and nervous system. It is not a good idea to use Ashwagandha if you have a thyroid disease.
3. Siberian Ginseng
-
Siberian ginseng or Eleutherococcus senticosust, is a spiny plant from Siberia. Herbalists use the roots and rhizomes as an adaptogen to treat fatigue and stress. In their 2009 book, Medicinal Plants of the World, botanist Ben-Erik van Wyk and biologist Michael Wink wrote that the herb can improve our stamina, reduce stress, and improve our immune system.
-
Hoffmann wrote that the saponins contained in Siberian ginseng, known as eleutherosides, have a direct effect on our adrenal medulla. Van Wyk and Wink state that you should be careful not to use Siberian ginseng for longer than three months, and even avoid it altogether if you already have high blood pressure.
4. Wild Yam
-
Wild yam, or Dioscorea villosa, is a climbing vine with small white flowers native to Central America. Traditional healers use the rhizomes to treat coughs, inflammation, rheumatism, and colic. The plant is rich in saponins such as dioscin, a source for the synthesis of steroid hormones such as cortisol, a hormone the adrenal gland produces in response to stress. Hoffmann recommends wild yam to support the adrenal cortex. This is the outer part of the adrenal gland that is specifically involved in the body's stress responses. You may experience nausea, diarrhea, or headaches after using wild yam. yam.
5. Licorice Root
-
Licorice root is often used in confectionery because of its sweet taste, it also provides several benefits for our adrenal glands. The root contains a substance called glycyrrhetinic acid, which has been shown to have a reliable effect on stimulating the amount of cortisol. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that is released from the adrenal cortex, it reduces the risk of inflammation and keeps our blood sugar level between meals. Licorice root provides this effect by inhibiting the breakdown of the hormone in the liver, this increases the amount of cortisol in circulation in the body.
6. Valerian Root
-
In times of acute stress, the central nervous system signals that the secretion of adrenaline from the adrenal medulla needs to be stimulated. Adrenaline signals to both our muscle and fat cells that the sugar and fatty acids are released. should be left to ensure better availability in the bloodstream. Adrenaline also activates the amygdala, part of the brain.
-
Dr. Robert Kapolsky, author of the bestseller on stress "Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers," explains that the amygdala makes people anxious and alert, as well as stimulating the release of more adrenaline, which ultimately creates a vicious cycle. Valerian stops this cycle from further inhibiting signals from the central nervous system to the adrenal medulla. Herbalists recommend it for relief of anxiety and insomnia.
