Fatigue is generally defined as a feeling of lack of energy and motivation that can be physical, mental or both. Fatigue is common and can interfere with daily activities. Some antidepressant medications may cause or worsen fatigue. If you have chronic pain or depression, treating either often helps the fatigue.  

In the traditional Chinese medicine theory, Chi is the vital energy in the body. In cases of chi deficiency, the body lacks sufficient energy to perform various functions. In cases of blood deficiency, there is insufficient blood to nourish the organs and tissues of the body. Our immune system is genetically designed to protect and shelter us from disease. With lack of chi / blood, our immune system is not strong enough to protect our body.

Acupuncture treatment can boost our body energy by improving the function of the lungs, spleen, and kidneys. Acupuncture effectively treats the various symptoms associated with fatigue and can strengthen a weakened immune system, enhance vital energy, nourish blood, and a well balanced diet in nutrients is recommended
