Salt Craving and Adrenal Fatigue

Salt Craving and Adrenal Fatigue

Do you regularly crave salt or salty food? 

Salt craving can be a sign that you may have some degree of adrenal fatigue. During adrenal fatigue more salt tends to be lost from the body causing you to crave it in order to replenish the body's needs. So, increase your intake of natural, mineral-rich salt during adrenal fatigue to help balance the increased loss of salt, but most importantly, support the adrenals with the use of adaptogenic herbs such as liquorice root and ashwagandha, extra nutrients, and healthy lifestyle changes, to help return the adrenals to a state of healthy function in the long-term.
People with adrenal fatigue tend to have low blood pressure (BP), but not always. Increasing salt intake and taking liquorice root over a long period of time is not recommended if you have high BP.
