Ashwagandha - repairing vs stimulating adrenals

[Guest guest]

It this statement correct?

The herbs liquorice, ginseng and ashwagandha support the adrenals,

stimulating them in an overall manner to produce all of the hormones.

Liquorice and ginseng should only be used about 2 weeks of the month to

maintain their effect. Liquorice can be helpful in boosting adrenal

function, because it helps the body retain more of its cortisol. These would

give you adrenal support taken long-term if you were not going to do

anything else.

I'm particularly interested in ashwagandha and its use for adrenal and

thyroid function. Does anybody have any experience with it? Doses and

general use?

I assume that liquorice and ginseng 'stimulate' adrenals? But is that always

good for adrenals that have gotten ill through over stimulation?

We are in a bind in SA as they simply won't allow our desiccated thyroid

(Armour) and adrenal (Isocort) through custom so rely in drugs (T4 and T3)

and Hydrocortisone to rest and heal adrenals.

But what herbs can accomplish this? Does ashwagandha allow the adrenals and

thyroid to repair, or is repair only possible when you rest the adrenals by

removing the stressors and supplying additional hormones (synthetic or

through desiccated glandular?

Thanks,
