There's a big distinction between adrenal exhaustion (too little cortisol) and high cortisol.
Too little cortisol can cause symptoms like Addison's disease: exhaustion, aching muscles and joints, nausea, low appetite.... Many people with CFS have low cortisol levels.
I'm not sure about the rest of the herbs but I read that licorice increases cortisol. People with high cortisol should stay away from licorice. On the other hand it might make someone with low cortisol feel better.
I've heard pretty good things about the salivary tests. It seems risky to experiment with potential treatments (as if you guess wrong you could make it worse) until one gets tested.
