Need help for Over Active Adrenal Cortex

Hello. Looking for alternative medicine for over-active adrenal cortex causing excess cortisol. 24 hr urine hormone test shows me low on all hormones except cortisol strands.

Im 34 yr old female. Adrenals are using all of my progesterone for stress hormones. Causing estrogen dominance latter phase of monthly cycle..starting after ovulation.

Panax ginseng has been a help somewhat in downregulating the adrenals, however, I feel it isn't covering everything.

Any assistance would be appreciated

I appreciate you taking the time. I have done quite a bit of research and had tons of tests to find the answers to this point. However, I am at a loss for where to go from here.
