Re: Adaptogenic herbs too stimulatory?

This is a very frustrating subject to me. My adrenals over reacted when I started taking high doses of Iodoral (was at 4 a day when the incident happened). I had a very bad case of heart palpitations and haven't been quite right since then......get too easily stressed.

I have since found that I react very sensitive to pretty much all supplements and some herbs, the ones listed here included, except I have not tried Maca - they all seemed to stress me out more. Not sure why.

I get better when I stopped taking them and when I take charcoal supplements. There seems to be a strong digestive connection although I eat very clean, almost everything organic, whole foods and as raw as possible while avoiding all gluten and dairy and have not had any black or green tea nor coffee since March of this year...... I have improved a bit , but I feel I should have improved a lot more by now with everything I have tried.....I recently started to take an RUVed herbal supplement to support immune function and that helped quite a bit.

I am inclined to try Maca and just pray that this will help me over the humps finally. Thanks for the info :-)

Forgot to add...although I spent tons of time in the sun outside throughout the year (when it shines) due to my work, my Vit D levels were too low but I do not have Hyperparathyroidism which can cause low Vit D levels.
