In Chinese medicine, adrenal fatigue is most often associated with the Kidney energetic organ system and a depletion of Essence; Kidney Deficiency can be caused by poor lifestyle habits or genetic factors. Herbal Kidney tonics work to restore the vitality of the adrenals and thyroid. They are often combined with adaptogenic herbs that reduce stress reactions and increase the body's ability to adapt correctly to stressors in the early stages of adrenal fatigue. This is never a 'quick fix' and often takes a few months or more of herbal therapy, but works well at addressing an issue that is often left untreated.

Tonic herbs work to boost your body up from within, over time. Unlike caffeine or energy drinks, tonic herbs will not give you a quick, artificial boost of energy and an adrenaline rush; stimulating the release of adrenaline in this way is often part of the cause of adrenal exhaustion. Instead, herbal tonic formulas will help rebuild what you have been depleting from your body for years; they will restore wellness and true core vitality by restoring the organ systems according to Chinese medicine. The goal is to feel energetic and vital upon awakening, and to maintaining that calm energy throughout the day without being reliant on sugar, caffeine, and artificial energy boosters that leave you feeling worse hours later and may damage your health long term.
