Let’s discuss what constitutes adrenal fatigue and its causes. The sad fact is that many women
suffer from this condition and may not even realize it. Adrenal fatigue occurs when the body is subjected to excessive amounts of stress. The adrenal glands are responsible for our fight or flight response when we enter stressful situations. They are also responsible for hormone production that our bodies need daily to function properly. When we are overly stressed, our adrenal glands are overworked by producing cortical in answer to that stress response. They cannot then produce the other hormones that we need to function in our daily lives.
TCM
or Traditional Chinese Medicine works with the theory that a person’s health depends on each individual organ working together to create a whole organic being. This encompasses the mind, body and spirit. Each organ or system works independently but also in conjunction with one another. TCM teaches that aging is a progressive and degenerative process that takes place in the body. Its theory is that by the time a person has reached the age of 40 aging has caused half of the qi or life energy to be lost.
