Chronic fatigue syndrome

Chronic fatigue, ME/CFS, and post-viral fatigue — approached with acupuncture and herbal medicine at Acupuncture Healing Center Chicago.

Overview

About chronic fatigue syndrome

Chronic fatigue in TCM is nearly always a deficiency-plus-stagnation picture — Qi and Yang deficiency of the Spleen and Kidney, with Liver Qi stagnation from years of pushing through. Post-viral fatigue in particular responds to a slow, patient-led rebuild rather than aggressive treatment.

Treatment

How we treat it

Sessions are gentle and never leave the patient feeling depleted afterward. Herbal support is often the primary tool with acupuncture as adjunct. Pacing — respecting the post-exertional malaise threshold — is part of the conversation every visit. Progress is measured in months, not weeks.
