Homeopathic remedies that may support recovery from adrenal fatigue, particularly after steroid use and chronic stress, include Ashwagandha for stress adaptation, Rhodiola for energy and resilience, and Ginseng for overall vitality. Nux vomica can help address fatigue and digestive issues related to stress. Additionally, Arsenicum album may assist in alleviating anxiety and restlessness. It's important to consult with a qualified homeopathic practitioner for personalized recommendations.
testes, ovaries and the adrenal cortex
Sex steroid hormones are not relased from the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are small endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys, they release adrenalin. Sex steroid hormones are released from the interstitial cells in the testes in men and from the follicles in the ovaries in women.
Steroid use will decrease the bodys production and wil cause the tissues that create steroids to atrophy. An abrupt stop in using steroids will result in adrenal insuffiency as the now atrophied tissues are unable to produce endogenous steroids to meet the bodys demands.
No, not all hormones secreted by the adrenal cortex are steroids. The adrenal cortex secretes both steroid hormones, such as cortisol and aldosterone, as well as non-steroid hormones like dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).
adrenaline The adrenal cortex produces a battery of steroids (glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids - mainly hydrocortisone and aldosterone), but it doesn't produce adrenalin. Adrenalin is released by the adrenal medulla which occupies the interior of the adrenal gland

There is no reliable evidence that any homeopathic method helps anything.In humans there's a possibility that you could at least get a placebo effect, but this is a DOG. Take him to a vet and get actual medicine.Alternatively, you could buy some random new kind of treat from the store and give him one each day while telling him in a clear, confident voice that it will help his "under active adrenal." This should work at least as well as any homeopathic method.(Note: if you're one of the people who lumps "homeopathic" in with "natural medicine", stop doing that. Some natural medicine remedies actually do demonstrate an effect above and beyond placebo levels. However, I have no idea whether or not there's a natural remedy for adrenal function, or if so whether or not it works on dogs.)
Steroids are classified into two main groups: anabolic steroids and corticosteroids. Anabolic steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone that promote muscle growth and enhance physical performance. Corticosteroids, on the other hand, are hormones produced by the adrenal glands and are used primarily to reduce inflammation and treat various medical conditions. Both types of steroids have distinct uses and potential side effects.
The pituitary hormone that targets the adrenal cortex is adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce and release cortisol, which is important for regulating metabolism, immune response, and the body's response to stress.

Glucocorticoids are a class of steroids that includes prednisolone, hydrocortisone, methylpredisone, etc. They are often used to immunosuppress in cases of transplant medicine, autoimmune disease, asthma attacks etc. The glucocorticoids are secreted by adrenal cortex of adrenal glands.
Not all hormones are steroids. Steroids are a specific type of hormone that have a characteristic structure with four interconnected carbon rings. Other types of hormones, such as peptides and catecholamines, do not have this structure.
