Is it hard to get out of bed in the morning? Are you struggling with decreased motivation, weight gain or a head that feels congested and heavy? You may be in adrenal fatigue.
Your adrenal glands produce hormones, including cortisol, which helps your body deal with stress. According to the adrenal fatigue theory, if your too stressed, your adrenal glands are unable to pump out appropriate amounts of cortisol.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine help balance your hormonal depletion and strengthen your adrenal gland function.
