Do you mean a 4 point saliva test that measures cortisol and DHEA levels? A lot of people here use one by Genova called the Adrenal Stress Profile:

You will need to send the results to a practitioner as they cannot be sent directly to the patient. You can put down Thyroid UK as the practitioner and then email TUK to get your results.
