How To Treat Adrenal Fatigue
Herbal allies for nourishing and toning the adrenal glands include black cohosh, dandelion, nettle, oatstraw and black currant. Other notable herbs suggested for adrenal support are licorice and astragalus. Ginsengs are often used to increase energy and support adrenal function. Siberian ginseng appears to be the most appropriate of the ginsengs for women.
