Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Essential oils have been used traditionally in various cultures to "support" the adrenal glands, often within the context of aromatherapy and holistic wellness practices. The adrenal glands are responsible for producing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, related to stress response. Practitioners of traditional medicine and aromatherapists sometimes claim that certain essential oils—such as rosemary, lavender, or frankincense—can help "balance" or "support" adrenal function, particularly in times of stress or fatigue. However, these uses are largely based on anecdotal reports, folk medicine, and holistic wellness traditions rather than rigorous scientific evidence. There is little to no clinical research directly connecting the use of unspecified essential oils to measurable improvements in adrenal gland health or hormone production in humans. Most available studies focus on the general effects of aromatherapy on stress or mood, not on direct adrenal gland support. In summary, while there is a tradition of using essential oils for "adrenal support," this use is not substantiated by scientific research, and the evidence base is very weak.
