Natural Adrenal Support – Tips for Treating Adrenal Fatigue

Your Adrenals Need To Relax Once In A While

Adrenal gland support is important considering the stressful lives that we’re all currently living in.  By considering these few lifestyle factors and natural adrenal gland support remedies, you can significantly improve your adrenal gland health, and perhaps remove yourself from the majority of the adrenal fatigue statistic!

Take an Epsom Salt Bath

First for a soothing and regenerating treatment, take an Epsom salt bath.  This will pull the fatigue and acidity right out of your body.  Try to incorporate an Epsom salt bath into your routine at least one a week.  Let your mind go and release the worries of the day.

You may add a few drops of Lavender or rose essential oil to your bath and allow the relaxing aroma to help you relax and refresh.  These oils are well known for their uplifting and relaxing qualities.

Essential oil, in themselves, can be blended and used to replenish the adrenal glands without stimulating them.  Mix one ounce hazelnut essential oil plus 50 drops each of Black Spruce and Pine essential oils.  Apply this blend regularly to your kidney and adrenal area for a week or two to help support glandular function.  You’ll smell great too!

Improve Your Sleep Routine

Next, do what you can to improve your sleep routine.  Getting to bed before 10pm is crucial – the hours after 10pm are extremely important in rejuvenation.  Your body starts to rebuild at night, so you do not want to stress it out when it is going through these processes.  Try finishing your last meal as early as possible so your body doesn’t have to spend all it’s resources digesting your dinner.  You want your body to instead work on replenishing your vital resources.

Herbal sleep formulas are effective for many people, and are not addictive!  Studies have shown that the aroma of certain essential oils in the room can have a dramatic effect on sleep quality – an easy way to experiment is to sprinkle a few drops of lavender or rose essential oil on your comforter before retiring (be sparing, too much can actually be stimulating!)  Good night!

Adrenal Gland Support – How to Support Your Adrenals

Peace and Quiet Help Support Adrenal Health

Adrenal gland support can be achieved with these few simple steps.  Many of these suggestions will help with your overall well being as well helping you to relieve stress and forget your problems.

First, proper adrenal gland support requires you to drink a lot of pure, clean water.  Make sure you always have a bottle around to sip on.  If you are feeling thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.  Your body processes require lots of water, and probably more than you think.  It is impotant to note that natural aging and other factors can desensitize your thirst sense, so again, drink more water than you think you need and before you feel thirsty.  Your urine should always be clear.

Next, you need peace and quiet for proper adrenal gland support.  Take 10 minutes of time to meditate and sit in silence at both the beginning and the end of each day.  Find a quiet place in your home or outside near a tree or natural source of water.  Sit in a comfortable position and gently follow the rhythm of your breath.  Allow yourself this sacred quiet time each day as an opportunity to nourish and assimilate, ground and rejuvenate your energy.

Spend time in nature-walking along the ocean, at a park, or in a forest.  Hear the sounds of nature, take full deep breaths and inhale in the healing power of the natural world.  Take time to look at the trees and flower as well as the sky and various birds and so on.  Enjoy this time outside to hear and nourish your body.  All this will give your adrenal glands a break and let them build reserves for future needs.

It is important you decrease (or preferably eliminate) your intake of processed sugars.  Processed sugars poison the body every time they are eaten and cause stress to the system. Sweets are a hard habit to break, but you’ll notice a significant increase in balanced energy when you do reduce their intake.  You want to ingest adequate amounts of essential fatty acids.  Great sources include evening primrose oil, borage oil, hemp oil, coconut oil, and flax oils.  Research and find out which source is best for your needs.

EFAs are precursors to many hormones in the body and will support your overall well-being.  Also do your best to cut out caffeine from all sources.  Even tea can upset sleep patterns and add pressure to an already stressful lifestyle.  Coffee, cola and energy drinks are the worst offenders to adrenal fatigue with their combination of processed sugars and refined caffeine.
