Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

The use of blends or combinations of herbs and essential oils to support the adrenal glands is primarily justified by tradition rather than robust scientific evidence. Historically, holistic and naturopathic practitioners have formulated blends containing ingredients such as licorice root, ashwagandha, rhodiola, and various essential oils to help the body cope with stress and support adrenal function. These traditions are based on the belief that such combinations can tonify the adrenal glands, enhance resilience to stress, and help balance hormones like cortisol. While some individual ingredients used in these blends (e.g., ashwagandha, rhodiola) have limited scientific studies suggesting potential adaptogenic effects, the evidence for the effectiveness of proprietary blends as a whole is lacking. Most clinical research investigates single herbs rather than complex mixtures, and results are often mixed or preliminary. There is little to no high-quality, peer-reviewed research directly validating the efficacy of these blends for specific adrenal support in humans. In summary, blends are used to support the adrenal glands mainly due to longstanding usage in traditional and holistic health systems, with modest indirect evidence from studies on certain component herbs. Consumers should approach these combinations with realistic expectations and consult healthcare professionals for adrenal-related concerns.
