Fatigue - Lack of Energy

Stop being tired of being tired

Unfortunately, neither Western medicine nor TCM yet possesses a magic formula to cure fatigue, except where there is a clearly identifiable cause, such as hypotension, low immunity, anemia or hypothyroidism.

In fact, there’s no reliable study that confirms the efficacy of any specific treatment for fatigue. Perhaps that’s why so many people look to complementary therapies for help.

TCM aims to treat the source of fatigue, not merely the symptoms of it. You think you will feel better if you consume an extra cup of coffee or (worse yet) gulp down energy drinks each day? Think again. Not only will that approach nor solve your fatigue issues, over the long run, it will make them worse.

But despair not.....

Acupuncture has been known to be effective in treating fatigue due to its holistic approach. The treatments are tailored to each individual, taking into consideration the root cause of their fatigue. For example, some may be experiencing fatigue due to sluggish digestion, while others may be overwhelmed with stress.

By addressing the specific underlying issues, acupuncture can help restore balance and energy levels. My sessions usually come with personalised tips and dietary advice.
