If you feel tired and drained, you are not alone. "Lack of energy" is among the top five complaints acupuncturists hear.
Several conditions may be responsible for your fatigue. These include anemia, thyroid issues, low blood sugar, and chronic fatigue syndrome. However, if these conditions have been ruled out, you may have a tough time understanding why you're so tired.
Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which works on the principle that all the organs in the body have an energy (Qi). Energy travels out of the organs and connects to your skin through meridian channels. The meridians are connected all over your body.
There are many reasons why your Qi supplies get depleted. Poor diet, digestive issues, illness, working too hard, stress and strong emotions, and even chronic pain can all drain your energy. In addition, if the energies become out of balance through stress, overwork, or excess partying, you may experience low energy levels, digestive disorders, or an inability to sleep properly.
Acupuncture works to clear obstructions and maximize the flow of energy and blood through the body's healing mechanisms, including the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. This enhances the body's own innate healing capacity and leads to an overall increase in energy and vitality.
Acupuncture also aids with pain relief, easing depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and many other ailments.
Stay healthy and happy, and enjoy the season more with acupuncture!
