Cortisol is a hormone produced in the adrenal gland that increases with factors such as stress. Low cortisol levels can also be indicative of diseases and conditions like Addison’s disease. There are medications that the doctor can give you to raise cortisol, but other options can increase cortisol that require a little bit of discipline and dedication. Herbs may also help increase the levels of cortisol and regulate the body’s systems for optimal functioning.

Tip

  • Excessive stress combined with inadequate sleep or fluctuating sleep patterns are unhealthy ways of raising cortisol in the body. Cortisol is released when stress is put on the body.
    No cortisol or low levels in the body can be indicative of diseases and should be tested for immediately. The doctor will then be able to prescribe the right therapy for your condition.
