Chronic fatigue refers to a clinical syndrome characterized by weakness, memory loss and inattention, which persists or recurs for more than six months despite adequate rest. So from the perspective of Chinese medicine, what will cause the body to be very tired and not relieved?
(A) emotional disorders, liver qi failure
Modern fast-paced lifestyle, bad emotional stimulation, social environment factors and so on make the body's mental stress too great, or long-term depression exceeds the body's regulatory ability, leading to liver depression and qi stagnation, resulting in mental and emotional pathological changes such as fatigue, decreased social adaptability and self-regulatory ability, dysfunction of qi, blood, body fluid and viscera, and various mental and emotional abnormal symptoms such as depression, inattention, impatience and irritability.
(2) Tired and sad, consuming gas and hurting blood.
When the heart fails in qi and blood and the spirit lacks nutrition, there will be many symptoms such as trance, difficulty in concentration, restless sleep and memory loss.
(C) Dietary damage to the spleen, lack of biochemical sources of qi and blood
If the spleen and stomach are damaged due to improper diet or overwork, the function of the spleen and stomach will be abnormal, which will lead to qi and blood imbalance, yin and yang imbalance, and the distribution of Shui Gu is extremely subtle, which will lead to a series of symptoms of malnutrition and physical weakness.
