Would you like more resilience to stress?

Adrenal Fatigue symptoms include tiredness, difficulty falling or staying asleep, craving salt, sugar and caffeine, dizziness or lightheaded, and visual sensitivity to bright lights or the sun.  True Stress Resilience is one of my favorite adrenal fatigue supplements.  I have taken all of these ingredients individually, but the result of taking them blended into one formula is more stress resilience than ever, as I approach 50!

I know, Medicine says adrenal fatigue is not a thing, and they only acknowledge adrenal insufficiency as a medical condition.  But this medicine helps that too!  I don’t mind if you call it “feeling like crap,” lol, if you are exhausted and can’t sleep or wake up still tired, keep reading!

These are my favorite plant medicines or herbs for adrenal fatigue:

The Perfect Medicine if you are worn out or wounded by the harshness of our world, or a highly sensitive person who has successfully escaped the harshness, but needs a little more resilience to participate more.

Albizia: In China, where this tree originates, they give its medicine to patients suffering the grief of a great loss.  It nourishes the metal energy in our bodies, which is the feeling of value and significance.  The symbolism of the metal energy in our planet can be found in our precious metals, gems and minerals. Metal is represented in our planet as the minerals and rocks, and our precious metals, like diamonds and rubies.

When you lose something of great value and significance, Albizia gives you the strength to carry on and grieve the loss.

When I was an infant, Doctors removed my Spleen to treat a condition they call Idiopathic Thyrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP).  I was barely a year old, so I don’t recall the grieving, but I was left with intense sensitivity to our environment, also known as environmental allergies.

It felt like I didn’t belong on this planet, until I found Albizia.  Albizia gave me the strength and resilience to not react to pollen and cats.

If Earthlings offer the criticism “you’re not good enough,” we mourn the loss of our significance.  I felt that LOSS a few years ago.  On this website, I shared the story of healing a woman with severe pain and exhaustion and an autoimmune medical condition.

Medicine lists her condition as incurable, but that it can be adequately managed with “Lifelong thyroxine replacement.”  She felt worse on their medicine, so she keeps looking until she finds True Health and heals!

My thanks was being terminated as an in-network doctor, for “treating a medical condition.”

I lost 70% of my income for helping that woman.  I feel the pain of “we don’t value your uniqueness”, very deeply.  Well, to be fair, I feel everything very deeply, but my termination took away my ability to be reimbursed as a doctor, my family’s security.

That felt very personal.  But, if you have stress resilience, you make lemonade.  Now True Health lives and breathes Unconditional Love as Care Without Expectation.  I Love how it feels!

Rhodiola

Rhodiola and Cordyceps Mushroom: Both of these medicines grow and flourish at over 10,000 feet above sea level.  I have read that humans need an oxygen mask at that elevation to survive.  I don’t believe everything I read of course, but I have been witness to the healing benefits of these plants.

They nourish the Fire energy in us, which includes more organs than any other element.  Fire must be an important part of us, because it includes the heart and gut, as well as the thyroid and adrenals for energy and rest. It also includes the sexual organs for reproduction, and if we are being honest, fun. It also includes the immune organs,  which work at keeping us safe from invasion and hurt.

Fire energy in life is our passion and beauty.  If you don’t feel wanted or included in life, it leaves you feeling vulnerable, waiting and even looking for the next rejection.  Repeatedly dampening the fire energy results in the desire to just stop speaking and feeling.

I was afraid to speak for most of my life.  I hated the “soft sensitive” part of me and tried to suppress it with alcohol.  The current version of me won’t stop speaking about healing and taking care, and now that I understand the purpose of my softness, I think our world could use some softening.

A group of endurance athletes were given either Rhodiola and Cordyceps or a Placebo for 14 days.  Then they were tested for endurance on a treadmill that slowly increased in speed and incline.  “Exhaustion” was measured by the time it took to have to grab the handrail.  The plant medicine group was able to go nearly 30 seconds longer than the placebo group.

They were immediately tested for cortisol levels, and the plant medicine group significantly lowered cortisol levels by nearly 25%.

After 14 days taking Rhodiola and Cordyceps, they could run farther and faster until failure, with less stress on their body!  (1)

Korean Ginseng:  A group of people were given Korean Ginseng or a Placebo for 14 days, then a “stress” was imposed in the form of high intensity resistance exercise.  The group that took Korean Ginseng suffered significantly less muscle damage, and had lower levels of stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol.  Physical stress didn’t hurt as bad! (2)

In another study, 62 men with metabolic syndrome were randomly assigned to either a Ginseng group (3.0g/day) or a placebo group for 4 weeks.

RESULTS:

Significant improvement in mitochondrial function (aka cellular energy production) and a significant increase in total testosterone and IGF-1 (Both hormones favor muscle over FAT!). Diastolic blood pressure and serum cortisol (stress hormone) significantly decreased in the Ginseng group. (3)

Goldenrod energizes the body’s electric fields.  Depleted electric fields shows up in our life as exhausted kidneys and a tired lower back.  One indication for Goldenrod is “looking for the nearest chair.”

Goldenrod is also one of the best medicines for allergic sensitivities, especially healing for cat allergies.

It nourishes the Water energy in our bodies, which is the flexibility to bend, and to make choices, including whether we “go with the flow” or not.  When this energy feels stressed, we experience feelings of fear and paralysis.  Not physically, but our energy is paralyzed, usually by uncertainty and self doubt.

I was a master of paralysis by analysis.  I would overanalyze everything, but with Resilience to Stress, and learning to move forward by feeling, not thinking, I have gotten more done in the last year than my previous 45 years!

Culver’s Root

Culver’s Root:  Establishes a positive mental state in people with chronic liver stress and unhappiness.  It nourishes the Wood element organs (liver and gall bladder), and the wood energy in our mind, body and spirit.  Wood represents structure and boundaries, and the emotion is anger when you cannot find the structure or steps to receive Love.

I’m sensitive or empathic, or whatever you call feeling everything very intensely!

Boron:  From Wikipedia-“Boron is a chemical element with symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae, it is a low-abundance element in the Solar system and in the Earth’s crust.  For those who read words instead of feel them, that feels like an out of this world nourishing mineral, and perfect for the sensitive Boys, who seem to be rare on this planet.

The list of Boron’s health benefits, includes increasing depleted sex hormones, and strengthening bones.

Di-Methyl Glycine (DMG): “DMG is found naturally in plant and animal cells and in certain foods such as beans.  DMG is produced in cells during the metabolism of choline and considered to be an antioxidant and enhancer of oxygenation at the cellular level.”  -Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.  (They actually have a great herbal medicine reference library on their website!)

DMG is used in horse racing to increase speed and stamina.  It nourishes the earth energy in our body.  So does boron.  A nutrient mineral, and an amino acid, the building blocks of cells.

Earth is the Mother energy.  The spleen, stomach and pancreas unselfishly make sure every cell receives glucose and oxygen.  DMG strengthen the Mother in us, because nobody is happy if Momma isn’t happy!

Stick a bead in your ear and lower cortisol, heart rate, anxiety and fatigue.  How can you not do this!!??

In a group of women following C-section delivery, half received auricular (ear) acupressure…

“Those who received auricular acupressure had significantly lower mean cortisol levels (mean difference=4μg/dl), heart rate (mean difference=9.2 beats/min), anxiety symptoms (mean difference=3.8), and fatigue symptoms (mean difference=7.1) than women in the control group at 5 days postpartum.” (4)”  Normal cortisol levels for a blood sample taken at 8 a.m. range between 6 and 23 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL).
