There are non-alternative treatments available for Cushing's disease that involve surgical removal of non-cancerous and cancerous tumors to inhibit the production of cortisol. Some patients on steroid drugs are also taken off the medicine in small stages to avoid danger. A person suffering from this condition should see a naturopath or doctor immediately as the condition could worsen very fast.

Natural treatment for Cushing's disease is also possible through several different methods and there are also some home remedies recommended by experts alongside other treatments. The following are some natural treatments that can be used to treat Cushing's disease:

1. Diet changes must be made in order to reduce fat intake and processed foods. Only 30 percent of fat intake is recommended. An increase in fiber intake such as whole wheat is also important to maintain a good diet. 

2. Vitamin B and D supplements are are often used to restore the body to optimal health. TCM suggests to especially increase B vitamins such as B1(thiamin), B2(riboflavin), B3(niacin), B5, B6 and B12. Cushing's disease patients must check with their doctor first to determine which vitamins are appropriate for them.

3. Herbal supplements such as dandelion and burdock root can be taken to detoxify the body of harmful substances and preserve important nutrients. Consultation of a naturopathic doctor is important as certain herbs can be harmful depending on the person's condition. Other herbal remedies are also available on the market that normalize the production of cortisol by the adrenal glands.

4. Reducing salt intake is crucial because of high blood pressure issues common amongst patients with Cushing's disease. Cutting back on salt helps to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with high blood pressure and help to keep the blood pressure low.

5. Exercise is another important therapy which can help alleviate the sudden and often dangerous weight gain amongst Cushing's disease patients. Exercise along with proper diet should ensure a reduction in symptoms and restore health faster.
