I tried it for several weeks but I kept getting worse, so I stopped.
Although the doc was convinced my problems were just "emotional" and he didn't believe in adrenal fatigue being the cause of my condition (and here I thought TCM docs were supposed to be more openminded than conventional ones..)

I heard that it works for some people, while it can make others crash.

I think it could help mild AF, I wouldn't recommend it for severe cases.

I read somewhere that accupuncture works by activating certain energy points, which are blocked in those in late stages of AF, and supposedly that's why it wouldn't be beneficial.

Maybe others had more luck with it.

I tried acupuncture and it was great.

At the time I was in state of high anxiety. Couldn't be in any stressful situation without my body having a huge adreneline rush.

They gave me herbs tha helped calm me down and feel relaxed. I actually started falling asleep on my own which for me was a huge improvement. One of the herbs contained licorice root which I thought helped me a lot back then.

Acupuncturist was the first to tell me that i actually had low energy and my body was trying to compensate which is prob why all the cortisol lowering supplements i had taken in the past didn't work. She was also this intuitive energy worker and had picked up people and things in my energy field that were causing me stress that she could not possibly have known.

Sadly I stopped going b/c of the cost ($90 per session and I was going weekly).

I think I started to feel too good that i pushed it and experienced another adrenal crash. This tme though, licorice didn't help. Maybe it was the other herbs that were the real life savers.

I did three rounds by three practitioners - no real help there. I now treat myself using a low level laser pen and a 'cookbook' - get much better results and save $! I learned to find the points that are in pain so when sore these are the channels that need attention.

Acupuncture has many different streams of thought and each practitioner will think differently. With adrenal fatigue the origins can be quite different, for instance the liver meridian is often affected, adrenals may be connected to the kidney meridian.

Find some cookbooks or visit some of the popular sites and read up on things. PC6 is a great point for anxiety. Trial and error is the best teacher afterall this is what most practitioners do anyhow.

The best thing for af is nutrients and staying away from inflammatory conditions (inflammatory people, situations, foods and stop reading the news :)

Root causes of af are nutritional deficiencies, stressors such as emotional/mental, toxins and infection in the body.
