Most of our patients who complain of fatigue suffer from a deficiency of vital energy (Qi).
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi is the basic energy that creates optimal physiological and neurological function.
The signs of Qi deficiency includes:
- Fatigue
- Diarrhea
- Pallor
- Easy bruising
- Excessive sleep (more than 9 hrs. a night)
- Scanty menses or amenorrhea
- Frequent urination
- Low libido, and shortness of breath.
The most common causes are stress, overwork, insomnia, depression, and various malfunctions in the major systems of the body (endocrine, cardiovascular, digestive, etc.) . There are many wonderful alternative treatment options that include acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, and exercise. Acupuncture tops the list because it tends to be so effective is supplementing the body’s energy.
