Chronic Fatigue is a debilitating long-term condition characterized by extreme fatigue or tiredness that doesn\u2019t go away with rest.<\/p>\n
The exact causes of the syndrome remain poorly understood, but it seems to be related to stress, overwork, depression, and various malfunctions in the major systems of the body. Hypotheses put forward by researchers include endocrine and immunological abnormalities, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, abnormal pain processing and certain infectious diseases.\u00a0 Due largely to this lack of understanding of the roots of the condition, western medicine is lacking in safe and effective treatment options.<\/p>\n

Traditional Japanese Medicine (TJM) takes a holistic approach to health and regards illness as a sign that the body is out of balance.\u00a0According to TJM, the majority of patients who complain of Chronic Fatigue suffer from a deficiency of \u201cQi\u201d – the body \/ mind\u2019s vital energy, which creates optimal physiological and neurological functions.\u00a0The TJM approach is to identify a pattern of disharmony in each patient and provide treatment modalities that reduce fatigue levels and the associated symptoms and improve their quality of life.<\/p>\n
Based on this TJM philosophy, Traditional Japanese Acupuncture (TJA) is used to tonify the meridians involved in the patient\u2019s energy blockage or imbalance, bring energy to deficient organs, and stimulate the flow of fresh Qi throughout the body.<\/p>\n
From a western biomedical viewpoint, acupuncture is believed to stimulate the nervous system, which influences the production of hormones and neurotransmitters. The resulting biochemical changes activate the body’s self-regulating homeostatic systems, stimulating its natural healing abilities and promoting overall physical and emotional health.<\/p>\n
A 50-year-old woman visited me for treatment complaining of severe and persisting fatigue that had lasted more than a year. She reported that three months before her first visit, her fatigue-associated symptoms had become quite serious.<\/p>\n
Her symptoms included fatigue, stiffness around the neck, tightness in her middle back and chest and the need to drink more coffee than usual.<\/p>\n
By palpating various energy nodes, I got a sense of stagnation at a specific neck point.\u00a0 In my experience, stagnation at this point often indicates Vagus nerve inflammation.\u00a0 The Vagus nerve is the longest in the autonomic nervous system.\u00a0 It is responsible for regulating the immune and autonomic nervous systems.\u00a0The extensive network it forms \u2013 the largest neural network in the body \u2013 provides a pathway through which information is sent to the brain regarding the status of our organs.\u00a0 For this reason, Vagus nerve modulation has been garnering attention recently as a potential treatment of Chronic Fatigue.\u00a0Based on the latest scientific research[1][2][3]<\/sup>, acupuncture may be an effective therapeutic treatment modality for Chronic Fatigue through the mediation of the Vagus nerve\u2019s inflammatory responses.<\/p>\n Using a combination of TJA and Vibrational Medicine<\/a> modalities, I devoted her initial sessions to the regulation of her Vagus nerve and the rebalancing of her overall Yin \/ Yang balance.\u00a0 After two sessions, her symptoms were in mostly in remission.\u00a0 Since then, she continues to have regular treatments with me once every two months and she has maintained good physical and emotional condition.<\/p>\n The efficacy of TJA lies in its ability to allow the practitioner to identify the precise nature of the underlying disharmony and select the most effective specific treatment, customized to meet the needs of the whole patient. It can also be used as a preventive measure to strengthen the patient\u2019s constitution and promote general wellbeing.<\/p>\n If you suffer from Chronic Fatigue, but have not tried this type of therapy, this might be a good time for you to consider Traditional Japanese Acupuncture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n – References –<\/p>\n Chronic Fatigue is a debilitating long-term condition characterized by extreme fatigue or tiredness that doesn\u2019t go away with rest.
