Hi guys, I want to
open up a discussion regarding adaptogens and adrenal issues related to Lyme. For example when I am very stressed or exercise a bit too hard I absolutely crash. My doc says its often related to my adrenals being overtaxed when I overdo it and I'm stressed. My doc has also explained how being chronically ill over time can wreak havoc on adrenals and make them very sensitive to everyday stressors. I've gotten a lot better from Lyme but still have some issues with adrenals and lingering symptoms from time to time that can be tough to deal with.
With that being said... what adaptogens have you guys used that have helped support the adrenals and as a result helped with stress?
A few that I've used:
1)Maca-good for energy and libido (has helped)
2)Licorice (tea)
3)Chlorella (used mainly for detoxing purposes).
Adrenals play a huge role in our illness and I believe this is something we should talk about
more often. So Please share your thoughts with what adaptogens or herbs can help and what other input you guys have on the Adrenals as I believe it will be value-add to our group of Lymies!!
