Hi Deb,
This book helped me greatly when I had adrenal fatigue in 2003-2004, check out the many recommendations inside.
Licorice root extract, not DGL, is very helpful and adrenals love it
You need the G part of licorice which is purposely not in widely used DGL.
Metagenics offers a line of products for stress, reducing cortisol and helping adrenals
I lived on the Licorice Plus product for a long time.

I saw a holistic MD at the time, B12 injections were helpful.
Of course, lots of rest and destress are required. I had moved to S. Florida at the time which helped recovery. One aspect of adrenal fatigue is inability to cope and deal with much. Took over a year to really recover.
As for homeopathic remedies, there may be some adrenal specific and having a constitutional one would be helpful.
In Chinese TCM, since adrenals sit on the kidneys, they fall into that area of energy meridians and pulse diagnosis for TCM herbs and acupuncture purposes from what I've read.
At the time I was not taking my constitutional homeopathic remedy but had been taking a palliative one over a few years, unknown to me at that time, which may have exacerbated my overall condition. Later during that time I did start taking what is my constitutional remedy and that may have also helped in my recovery and allowed me to return to stressful NYC.
I also remember using fat burner pills prior to fatigue, which were known to lead to adrenal burnout.
Many of those have now been reformulated to avoid that nasty side effect.
Don't worry, recovery is possible!
Susan
