Chronic fatigue syndrome is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. For most sufferers, the only way to manage their pain is to take prescription medicine which too often has serious side effects. For most people though, taking medication cannot be helped as doing otherwise would leave them unable to perform day-to-day activities. Nevertheless, there are alternative options to consider. Among these are the Ancient Siddha-Veda practices, which Ayurveda medicine is related to. Within this form of treatment, a more holistic approach is taken to combatting chronic fatigue. This means not only addressing the symptoms head-on but attempting to nip the bud by encouraging positive lifestyle habit changes. This includes incorporating a more plant-based focus to one’s diet. Ayurveda medicine recommends the following natural herbs to alleviate the symptoms associated with chronic fatigue.
Ashwagandha: Otherwise known as “Indian ginseng” or “winter cherry,” the herb is considered to be a superfood in Ayurvedic medicine. It is believed that an ample and daily consumption of this will prolong life, combat disease, and protect the body and mind from negative stress. Ashwagandha helps patients with chronic fatigue syndrome by restoring energy and improving muscular function. Remember that an impaired neurological connection normally causes chronic fatigue syndrome. Ashwagandha is said to repair these processes, as well as regulating sleep cycles which consequently boosts the immune system and reduces the likelihood of anxiety and depression.
Rhodiola: This herb is a staple in Ayurveda and is believed to promote cognitive vitality. Evidence that suggests that the herb reduces fatigue and exhaustion in prolonged stressful situations by acting as a protective agent against cell death. Their neurological benefits help patients with chronic fatigue syndrome by improving cellular function.
Brahmi: This is scientifically known as Bacopa monnieri and in local markets as Indian pennywort. This is one of the prized herbs in Ayurveda to treat Alzheimer’s disease and any form of neurological impairment. The root is said to have a relaxant effect on the muscles, which increases blood flow from the brain to different areas of the body. This proves useful for those with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Remember that a Master Healer should regulate the dose and intake frequency of these herbs -- alone or in combination -- to ensure optimum results.
