I'm sorry no I don't know about herbal alternatives. The hairy symptom usually applies mainly to women. If you look up "Cushing's" and "symptoms" (or "diagnosis") in a web search engine that would give you information.
Actually I did read somewhere gingko maybe is mildly anti-cortisol, but it's hard to know if that's just someone trying to sell it.
If worried about cortisol, stay away from licorice (licorice teas, candy etc), as that I have read actually increases cortisol.
