The Most Important Herbal Formula for Building Powerful Adrenal Glands—Adrenal Revive!
Given the vast array of environmental toxins, EMFs, toxic medical treatments, fast foods, artificial boxed and canned goods, diminished nutrient levels from depleted soils, in even our organic foods, and the immense levels of stress related to daily life in today's world, it is of no surprise that adrenal fatigue/exhaustion is ubiquitous around the world.
Solutions do exist, but they will not be found among the chemicals, radiation, and surgeries of modern medicine.
Nature has not abandoned us. Answers are abundant. They are natural. They are drawn from whole earthen resources like herbs, clays, superfoods, a clean diet, various energy-building practices, and various inner contemplation methods that reduce emotional and mental stress.
As the hormonal system gives and receives its proper communication with the adrenal glands a movement toward improved physical energy, mental stamina, sound restful sleep, and more balanced emotions take place naturally.
The list of functions and benefits from healthy, functioning adrenals are extensive, making it well worth striving for, so as to maximize them in your daily life.
Here's a basic list of benefits, though this merely touches the surface of what these two tiny glands do for the body when fed properly and built up to their maximum potentials.
The two primary components of the adrenal glands are the medulla and the cortex with both individual and related functions.
The adrenal medulla:
Generates adrenaline for the fight-or-flight response
Is involved in long-term memory recall
Is related to the full spectrum of emotions from worry, fear, and anger, to joy, pleasure, gratitude, and bliss.
Is involved in the production of hormones that affect:
upright posture
tolerance for pain
heat and cold sensitivity
both high and low blood pressure
both high and low blood sugar levels.
The adrenal cortex produces hormones that affect:
Blood pressure via the sodium/potassium electrolyte balance in the blood
Blood sugar balance through the action of cortisol
Digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats
Appetite
Reduction of inflammation
Anti-allergy response
Regulation of the sleep-wake cycle
Raising of glucose levels during stressful situations
A regulation of the heart rate under stressful conditions
Stabilizing and enhancing a positive mood
Muscle strength and endurance
collagen development
Skin thickness and texture
Weight (both underweight and overweight)
Sexual performance
The adrenal cortex also produces DHEA and other androgen hormones (like testosterone and estrogen) that support:
Bone density
Muscle mass
Stimulation of cell growth (size)
Red blood cell production
Gender development during puberty:
In males:
Vocal cord lengthening that leads to a deeper voice.
Facial and chest hair growth.
Sperm development
In females:
Formation of breasts and wider hips
Regulation of menstruation cycles
Plays a role in conception and pregnancy
With so many functions of the body affected by adrenal hormones, it drives home the importance of maintaining strong, vibrant adrenal health.
Supplements alone are not the complete answer. There are two important practices to add to the equation:
Becoming aware of the many ways we tax our adrenals in daily life is essential.
Then, reducing these stressors to what degree we are able in the moment is critical to successful restoration of adrenal function.
Diet [sugar, artificial sweeteners, natural sugar concentrates (including agave, maple syrup, stevia drops, coconut nectar, natural cane sugar, brown sugar, etc.), conventional food from chemical farming practices, most all foods and beverages from large corporations, poor food combining practices, most all desserts, fast food, most all restaurant food, junk food, mold contaminated food, etc.]
Caffeinated beverages (including your best coffees, green & black tea, matcha, yerba mate´, etc.)
Lifestyle stress (work environment, home life, the passing of loved ones, financial stress, business and personal relationships, etc.)
Choosing negative perceptions toward life stressors resulting in limiting emotional responses (fear of loss, attachment, hopelessness, self-serving attitudes, etc. that fail to recognize infinite possibility)
Environmental pollution (in the home, at work, in our city water, rivers, and oceans, chemtrails, EMF radiation, cell phones, WIFI, 5G cell towers, satellite transmissions, factory pollution, nuclear power plants, munitions factories, nuclear testing facilities, etc.)
Personal use items (cosmetics, shampoos, colognes, perfumes, some essential oils, deodorants, toothpastes, hair dyes, etc.)
Medical diagnostic measures and medical treatments (ultrasound, MRI, mammogram, X-rays, meds containing heavy metals and petroleum-based chemicals, etc.)
Hormone support medications [birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy (including bioidentical and glandulars), steroids, etc.]
Dental work (amalgam fillings, bridges, caps, root canals, dissimilar metals in the mouth and other parts of the body)
Recreational use of certain herbs [cannabis, CBD, ayahuasca, mushrooms, peyote, etc. as revealed by the depleted energy following its use, munchies (low blood sugar), bloodshot eyes (sign of poor health), loss of drive, etc.]
Alcohol of all kinds
Some fermented foods (based on histamine presence)
Mold exposure (home, yard, work, moist areas within buildings that come in extended contact with building materials)
This is just a brief summary of areas that tax the adrenals. These categories reveal the immense number of ways our adrenals are called to action to help maintain our health.
A strong immune system (that is codependent with the adrenals) would normally be able to manage a wide range of these factors, but when the onslaught gets too overwhelming for the body to manage effectively, then we need some help in reviving our adrenal powers.
An improved diet –"OK, So What Foods CAN I Eat?"
Breath & Sound Exercises – Deep breathing, humming, toning, etc. to release congested mental/emotional energy, oxygenate the body, and vitalize the body with electrical/pranic energy for the vertebrate nervous system and the perineurial nervous system (distributed through the facia and energy centers).
This is especially beneficial when practiced near pine or cedar trees or other plants due to the beneficial, vitalizing, negative ions generated by them.
Grounding/Earthing – Drawing electrical and magnetic energy from the earth through contact with the soil, the plants, and the trees.
Sunlight – Deriving nourishment directly from the sun. Sunlight includes almost 1 million frequencies of light with numerous benefits.
Absorption of sunlight empowers the body to synthesize vitamins and other nutrients required for sustaining ideal states of health.
Adrenal hormones are particularly enhanced under the influence of sunlight evidenced by the uplifted mood experienced when stepping into sunlight.
Hydration – Energy levels are immediately lifted and maintained when taking in sufficient amounts of pure, structured water needed to keep the body fully hydrated.
Water is essential for flushing out the load of toxins taken in on a daily basis, thus easing the strain on the adrenals.
Energy Movement Practices – Qigong, Yoga, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Martial Arts, etc. concentrate and distribute the subtle energies of Life which promote health, balance, strength, and vitality.
Prayer, Meditation, and Inner Healing – This is the most powerful way to reduce stress if performed with the intention of accepting co-creative responsibility for all that one experiences and willingly adjust one's perceptions to align with the higher qualities of Divine Nature.
Adrenal Revive—Designed for the most rapid upbuilding of adrenal function.
Initial results can be felt within minutes.
Generates a calm, smooth energy, improved physical stamina, emotional equilibrium, and sustained mental focus.
Adrenal Revive is tasty as a powder. Can be added to any green drink, other herbal formulas, or taken alone in water or juice.
Take 1-2 teaspoons/5-10 ml 2-3 times per day.
Provides an immediate energetic lift followed by a gentle boost of stable energy over the course of 5 hours.
If you are ultra-sensitive to the effects of herbs, it is best to take the formula 5 hours before sleep due to its natural lifting effect – which reaches a peak 5 hours after consumption.
Through the steady use of this formula, ultra-sensitivity tends to diminish, as resilience to stress, or stronger energy boosts, build over time.
To complement Adrenal Revive and amplify its restorative properties, combine with Stamina!, Mineral Manna, Vital Cleanse & Nutrify, and Herbal C in a single tasty green beverage twice a day.
For those who can take the heat, add a dash or more of Cayenne Pepper or Ginger and a squeeze of Lemon.
To further amplify your natural adrenal powers, stabilize energy levels, and accelerate restoration, add Adaptogen & Mushroom Blend, Energy & Brain Power, and/or Revitalize for Men / Women in powder or capsule form.
