As homeopaths it's essential that we have a good working knowledge of the HPA Axis – the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal system.
Our everyday high-stress culture where we are always busy and rarely resting, means our natural adrenal response is activated too often and does not always have a chance to return to normal.
Many health problems are a direct result of too much circulating cortisol and/or from too little if the adrenal glands become chronically fatigued.
The stress/fatigue continuum
Cortisol naturally rises and falls through the day and night in a circadian rhythm.
It increases naturally in response to stress, but it's essential that it has a chance to return to normal.
This is what happens when it doesn't:
High stress -> high cortisol -> insomnia -> anxiety -> lowered immunity
Prolonged stress -> low cortisol -> insomnia-> depression -> chronic fatigue
Other body functions directly affected by stress include:
- Homeostasis
- Blood sugar
- Energy
- Tissue growth and repair
- Digestion
- Thyroid function
- Reproduction
Homeopathy strategy
Homeopathy gives us a robust set of tools to address underlying causes of chronic stress and adrenal fatigue.
Acute + constitutional + sarcodes + nosodes + adaptogen herbs
- Acute remedies resolve surface symptoms quickly and build confidence.
- Constitutional remedies address underlying emotional patterns and tendencies.
- Sarcodes are essential to restore integrity of the endocrine organs.
- Nosodes address inherited patterns affecting mental health and immunity.
- Adaptogen herbs restore vitality.
