TIRED OF BEING TIRED?
Fatigue is one of the most common health complaints in North America. Fatigue robs millions of people of the ability to enjoy work and live life to the fullest. For many people, fatigue has done more to destroy their quality of life than any other condition.
Do you suffer from fatigue? If so, how long have you suffered and how frequently? What is it like for you when your fatigue is at its very worst? What do they restrict you from doing? How does it affect you, your family and those around you? How is it affecting your work?
Have you tried various things to improve your energy level and not gotten a lasting result?
Would you like to be rid of your fatigue ONCE AND FOR ALL and be able to live life at its fullest again?
Fortunately, acupuncture and Chinese botanical medicine, used as a complementary and alternative medicine, effectively treats the various symptoms associated with chronic fatigue. Also, Chinese medicine can explain the cause of each specific symptom and individual personal imbalance. Further, Chinese medicine can treat the underlying, root causes of conditions and prevent severe diseases.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, chronic fatigue is usually considered a Qi (pronounced “chee”) weakness. Qi is roughly defined as the life force energy or vitality. The level and quality of your Qi depends on your physical, mental and emotional balance. In many ways Chinese medicine is an energy medicine.
Acting on the body’s own subtle energy system to clear obstructions and maximize the flow of energy and blood through the healing mechanisms of the body. Including the nervous, endocrine and immune systems, which enhance the body’s own innate healing capacity and lead to an overall increase in energy and vitality.
Now if this talk of energy sounds a little woo-woo for you… Then just take a look at modern quantum physics. Modern medicine and science have all traced the very essence of our beings. The essence of the universe. Beyond the Atom. Beyond the Electron. There is only energy. Ultimately everything in the universe is energy. Confirmed by the latest breakthroughs in modern science. The ancient Chinese physicians knew this truth 5,000 years ago.
Chronic Fatigue has many factors to look at. It’s usually like a domino effect, in that each problem can trigger another. Our doctors’ emphasis is to determine the root cause of the condition based on an individualized assessment of your entire health. Treatment may involve acupuncture, Chinese botanical medicine and Supplements.
Our doctors may focus on strengthening a weakened immune function, boosting your vital energy, nourishing the entire system’s tissue, increasing lymph circulation and natural killer cells, promoting proper elimination of toxins, and improving deep relaxation. As well as renewing mental function and spiritual healing. There may be the focus of treatment on expelling the pathogens (viruses, yeast and parasites) by cleansing the blood and eliminating the body’s excessive heat (toxins). 
Prolonged systemic stress diminishes immunity and obstructs energy flow. Therefore treatment to support the adrenal glands and relieve adrenal exhaustion is often necessary. Studies have found that 75% of all CFS sufferers are women.
Therefore many women’s gynecologic problems, such as irregular menstrual cycles, PMS and menopausal syndrome will be also addressed. Treatments to regulate hormonal function are designed in order to lower the high risk of CFS.
Sometimes food allergies can play a significant role in worsening CFS symptoms. Severe allergies show common factors, which can exacerbate CFS symptoms and make them worse. These will also be addressed if necessary.
Results from the treatment, in many cases, have been achieved in just a few weeks. Often within five to ten minutes of the insertion of the needles, patients achieve a deep state of relaxation. Science has reported that such deep relaxation helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, which can help reduce stress and anxiety, rebalance immune system, and expand a sense of well-being.
About 80-90% of patients experience significant improvement within 3-4 months, and remain in good health. Patients are encouraged to persevere in treatment monthly as a preventive therapy if they live and/or work in a high stress environment. Continued treatment can much more quickly restore imbalances if any mild symptoms develop. In addition to diagnosis and treatment, regular exercise, such as stretching movements (Yoga and/or Tai Chi), as well as dietary and lifestyle changes are recommended.
Our doctors will carefully address your specific needs if you suffer from chronic fatigue or general fatigue. A treatment plan will be individually prepared for you. And we’ll help you start feeling more energetic so that you can live life to the fullest.
