Re: Need help with adrenals
I had adrenal fatigue for years, so I can relate to this.
First of all; licorice root can be taken for years, I have done this for over 3 years, no problem.
Get enough salt and vit C, B, as this is the primary need for the adrenals.
When it comes to
Iodine there is an option, not take it daily, but lets say once or twice a week, not that I believe it is taxing your adrenals. It may be that
Iodine trigger some deficiency, put a demand to act, and when the body is lacking of an element, the adrenals have a hard time.
Do you take boron?, how much magnesium, which type? The agitation, racing heart, insomnia is exactly what I had; all helped with magnesium, but it took some time to get this supplement right. Have a look at;

Why boron; to balance the magnesium-calcium. magnesium relaxes, calcium contracts.
Also think other causes of your adrenal fatigue,
Iodine cant do that alone, there must be more to it;
"Common phenomena that can lead to adrenal fatigue include:
• Being stuck, psychologically, in the ‘small picture’; unable to respond to stress proactively
• Not having proper sleep or rest
• Poor diet
• Anxiety or reactive behavior. This can become a vicious cycle of stress for the adrenals.
• Over-working, or an intense drive for success, especially when there is no deeper purpose or meaning behind it
• A lack of emotional or physical outlets
• Environmental toxicity
• An attitude of powerlessness
• Having hypoglycemia and other blood
Sugar issues
• Severe respiratory infections. These can have a very detrimental effect on adrenals.
• Other physical or emotional traumas of various levels, such as car accidents, the death of a friend or family member, and surviving or even witnessing a catastrophic or tragic event.
