fatigue
Fatigue is one of the main complaints in primary care.
How is fatigue affecting your life? Is fatigue an everyday occurrence for you?
You may have already seen your doctor, taken a blood test, and had further tests and scans, however nothing concrete has shown up to provide an explanation.
Fatigue can be associated with conditions such as hypothyroidism, residual virus, adrenal fatigue, undiagnosed allergies, menstrual irregularities, menopause, cancer treatments and other chronic health conditions.
what happens
The symptom of fatigue is not a clear definition of what is going on in the body, therefore careful questioning from a Chinese medicine perspective will assist in distinguishing what organs and/or channels are out of balance and whether it encompasses a lack of energy, sleep disturbances or deprivation, poor appetite or a general lack of motivation.
Further enquiring will consider the client within their environment, their emotional health and their day to day functioning.
how Chinese medicine can help
I use a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, heat lamp therapy and Chinese herbal medicine to help the body recover from fatigue and associated symptoms.
As Chinese medicine focuses on the individual presenting symptoms at each session, this creates a personalised, integrative and wholistic approach to meet the body's innate healing mechanisms that over time will provide effective relief.
Personalised self-care recommendations such as dietary and lifestyle changes will also be provided as required on your pathway to improved and greater health.
