Re: adrenal thirst

Salt doesn't increase Aldosterone.  It is the other way around.  You need to calm your nervous system such that everything doesn't go to cortisol.

And people lose their salt craving one they improve.  I lost my salt craving about a year ago after 10 years of salting my water and using lots and lots of salt on my food.

Something like Seriphos can be helpful to reduce cortisol.  Generally, you take it when your saliva test show high cortisol ... and not when your saliva test shows low cortisol.

A lot of people have low cortisol in the afternoon (hence low energy), but get high cortisol late in the evening, overnight, and morning.

My theory on this is your body tries to take advantage of your rest periods to move along toxins. Which should actually increase cortisol.  Now that my gallbladder is waking up, and I am getting lots of gallbladder release sounds under my right rib, I notice it happens much more at night, or in the early morning.

With some googling, it was clear that our bodies do try to detoxify at night.  So I am thinking that might be the reason for the high night and morning cortisol many have.

Even when I calmed my nervous system with lots and lots of meditation.... I still had high morning cortisol.  I actually felt calm, but still high morning cortisol.

I haven't bothered with a saliva test in a few years.  I am working on detoxification (see my other posts), and using hair analyis to monitor metals.  I am hoping that when the toxins are mostly out, my morning cortisol will finally be down.   I
