Hey guys, I know I'm always talking about hormones... but I've read a lot about them...

Salt Craving, especially an intense or long-lasting craving for salt can be an indication of a hormone imbalance. (Our bodies thrive on hundreds and hundred of different hormones!)

It can indicate Addison's Disease, or a deficiency in cortisol, which is a hormone we can't live without - literally:

And another hormone deficiency that can cause salt craving is aldosterone. This deficiency won't kill you - but it's often over-looked by even the best of Dr.'s. Aldosterone deficiency can cause the following symptoms:

fatigue
“cognitive fuzziness”
dizziness
lightheadedness on standing
palpitations

You can have your levels tested and most of the time, drinking licorice tea, or taking a licorice supplement can rectify it completely. They also have a medication for patients with the more serious cases of aldosterone deficiency can take.

Here's a paper on my Dr.'s website about this:
