The adrenal cocktail is used as a short-term solution to help calm and nourish the adrenal glands. When adrenals fire, symptoms may include night time cravings, waking up during the night, and challenges with restful sleep during the night. The combination of the sweet and salty ingredients used in the cocktail helps nourish the glands. It has a cumulative affect and should be taken for at least 2 weeks until the food therapy used during level 1 calms the adrenal glands and symptoms disappear. Take at night an hour before bedtime and optionally in the morning if symptoms have not improved after several days.
The Adrenal Cocktail recipe includes:
4 oz. organic orange juice
½ tsp. cream of tartar (available in your grocery spice rack)
The cream of tartar provides potassium along with the balance of sodium from the salt. There currently isn't a substitute.
¼ tsp. Himalayan crystal salt or Celtic sea salt
