Here at Energie Natural Health, we have sample kits for testing adrenal function. The samples are then sent off to a lab where they are analysed. Your naturopath receives a report which can then be interpreted and monitored for appropriate corrective treatment. Why would you need this test? Everyday physical and emotional stress puts constant pressure on our adrenal glands. If they become depleted you may experience fatigue, anxiety, low blood pressure and poor immunity. Adrenal fatigue is a very common condition, and most of the time is missed by general pathology testing.
