Edema and Your Adrenals

Proper fluid balance in the body is elusive for many. You may develop high fluid pressure in the eyes (glaucoma), swollen legs (edema), fluid retention headaches, urinating 20 times daily, etc. Drugs for these usually induce other problems for which still more drugs are prescribed. Chronic stress and resultant adrenal failure (hypoadrenia) can cause all these symptoms and more. Adrenal problems create hormonal imbalances that induce fluid balance problems. Testing your adrenal function is usually a simple procedure using the Ragland Test. When proper basics are used to treat adrenal failure, you can often resolve fluid balance problems.
