Adaptogenic Herbs for Adrenal Fatigue

Adrenal fatigue, although not a recognized medical condition in a formal sense, is a description of stress and its consequences on adrenal gland function. These glands secrete hormones such as cortisol and thus exert control over stress response, energy balance, and systemic homeostasis. However, chronic stress can thus overtax the adrenal glands, leading to fatigue, brain fog, and low energy. Adaptogenic plants represent phytotherapy that may, in turn, promote the maintenance of the human organism’s stress resistance and recovery of homeostasis. Let’s consider the most effective adaptogenic herbs for adrenal fatigue and their mechanisms.

Summary
