Adrenals
Of all the endocrine glands which include the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas,
adrenals, ovaries and testis, the adrenal glands are perhaps the most
pivotal in many conditions of stress-related problems, yet the least regarded
in conventional medicine.
The reason could be the complexity of their function as they tend to produce
several hormones with diverse affects throughout the body and, the absence
of a pharmaceutical drug that can influence them.
The adrenals sit above the kidneys and have two portions: the cortex
and the medulla. The function of their diverse hormones illustrates how
important these glands are in the body's physiology.
1. Adrenaline and noradrenalin - "flight and fright mechanism".
2. Aldosterone - sodium/potassium balance and fluid retention/loss.
3. Cortisol - stress management and sugar balance.
4. Steroids - anti-inflammatory in infections and autoimmune problems.
5. Androgens and Estrogens - sex hormones which take over after the menopause
when the ovaries have powered down.
The adrenals also play a significant role in the causation of many conditions
from the feeling of wellbeing during pregnancy, the "baby blues"
after birth to the tiredness and exhaustion associated with chronic fatigue
syndrome.
Not only are the adrenals susceptible to both physical and emotional
stress, they are affected by other factors including food allergy/intolerance,
pathogenic organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungus/Candida and parasites),
toxins such as metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury etc), chemicals
(pesticides, herbicides, preservatives etc), radiation (DECT phones, mobiles
and masts, air travel etc), drugs (NSAIDs, steroids etc), and not forgetting
malabsorption of essential nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals
and especially fatty acids of EPA and DHA.
Treatment of an exhausted adrenal gland is rest and relaxation, both
physical and emotional together with a good supply of all nutritional
factors essential for healing and regeneration.
