ADRENAL CORTEX
Source – Prepared from Adrenal Cortex gland
This remedy shares thematic similarities with
Adrenalinum. I have frequently used it in adrenal gland disorders and in cases with a history of steroid abuse, drawing a parallel with
Cortisone. While
Cortisone tends to act more on the skin and allergic layers, Adrenal Cortex works at a deeper level and is often effective when
Cortisone fails. I learned the application of this remedy from Professor Dr. L. M. Khan.
