Chronic fatigue

Chronic fatigue occurs in many people, often also in combination with other complaints such as insomnia, pain complaints or stress. You can feel tired both mentally and physically, and this can strongly reduce your quality of life and your peace of mind. Through conventional medicine the cause is often unclear, and therefore it is by no means always possible to do something about it. Within Chinese medicine, however, we can usually treat this well. In our practice we view the body as a whole and we also treat all accompanying complaints.

Chronic fatigue is mainly caused by an imbalance in two groups:

Lifestyle (eating pattern, sleep pattern, stress/tension, overworking, etc.) This is something we can give advice about, but over which the client themselves has the most influence. We can, for example, advise you to drink less coffee or to eat more healthily, but it is ultimately up to the client to act on this.
Disruption of a body system (hormone balance, digestion, allergy, asthma, pain, etc.) In this area we can be of great significance through acupuncture, herbal medicine and massage.

Factors in these two groups can be present on their own or in combination, causing the fatigue complaints.

Examples

By eating too little or poor-quality food, insufficient nutrients are taken in to let your body function optimally → fatigue.
With too little sleep, stress, too much work or studying, there is an unhealthy balance between rest and activity → fatigue.
Someone who has a lot of hot flushes at night and therefore sleeps poorly gets too little rest → fatigue.
Hay fever can cause poor sleep due to a blocked nose, and the immune system is continuously irritated → fatigue.
A digestion that does not function well means that food is not digested properly, so that you take in insufficient nutrients → fatigue.
