Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), as the name suggests, refers to a constant feeling of being tired physically and mentally, almost like the body’s vital systems are switched off or are working on a low battery. It is also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis. Recently, a new term has been introduced to denote this syndrome called Systemic Exertional Intolerance Disease (SEID). It is diagnosed when extreme tiredness remains for a minimum six months that decreases the ability to do daily routine activities and is unexplained by any underlying medical condition.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can be very effectively treated with natural homeopathic remedies. Homeopathic medicines help the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients by increasing their body stamina and threshold for bearing fatigue against a particular level of exertion. They also help in energising the body’s immune system to come out of extreme physical or mental weakness and rejuvenate the person. Homeopathic medicines provide long term relief in CFS cases by working at a deep level to root out the cause. The regular use of homeopathic medicines for a recommended time period as suggested by a homeopath can help in reducing dependency on conventional medicines to a great extent.
Safe, Natural treatment
Homeopathy is a safe, natural healing system of medicine that treats CFS without any sort of unwanted harmful after effects. As homeopathic medicines are sourced from natural substances these are completely safe to use with zero side effects. These are capable of treating CFS in a very gentle, harmless way and help in recovering naturally.
Individualized treatment
Homeopathy follows the principle of individualisation when it comes to prescribing homeopathic medicine for any case including CFS. It means that homeopathy selects the most appropriate remedy by evaluating the characteristic key symptoms in every individual case rather than prescribing the same medicine in all persons having CFS. Such well-selected individualised medicines bring great recoveries in CFS cases.
Boosts self-healing mechanism of the body
Each one of us has a self-healing mechanism in the body to fight health issues and overpower them. Homeopathy works to boost this mechanism to deal with CFS and overcome it on its own naturally. In this way, initially the symptoms of CFS are relieved followed by gradual decrease in the intensity and frequency of recurrent episodes of symptoms till the time it goes away completely.

1) I feel energetic and fresh in morning after good sleep. I have no sleep problems.
2) As day passes and after some hours of working on laptop (I have a IT job) I get very tired due to weakness and I feel like to go where and lay down on bed and take rest.
3) If I continue more I start feeling giddiness, trembling while sitting on office chair while working, memory weakens and frustration increases in work.
4) After coming from office and just taking meals I just fall to bed and sleep.
5) I think Kali phos and Gelsemium seems to work with me but I am not aware of doses and way to take them. Please highlight the way to these medicine. Or better what you think.

Dear Dr. Sharma
I was very interested to read what you said about Arsenicum Album and Kali Phos for the treatment of chronic fatigue. I believe I suffer from CFS after having epstein-barr infection 18 years ago. When I feel the terrible fatigue begin, I take Arsenicum Album 30c, one dose and usually feel better within 10-12 hours however I usually cough up infected phlegm, this pattern occurs probably every 10-14 days. I also use Kali Phos cell salts when I feel irritable or depressed. I wondered if I simply need a higher dose of Arsenicum Album to stop the frequent re-ocurence as I am without doubt that it is the right remedy and helps me keep going.
Thank goodness for homeopathics

Dear Dr Sharma,
1.I have been suffering from headache and pain in the whole body for long 33 years. In the meantime I have taken allopathy medicine initially and then switched over to homeo medicine. For last 15 years I am taking homeo medicine. The doctor gave me Sulphur 200,and afterwards gave more potenticized like Sulphur 10M. Lastly I had been taking Psorinum 200.
2. My conditions improved a bit while I am taking homeo medicine than before while I was taking allopathy medicine. My present inconveniences are: headache, pain and itching in the whole body, feeling cold/tired more than a normal person. I cannot concentrate in doing things and feel that my memory is weaker. I cannot remember names of people easily. Headache increases in the winter and when I go for study. I feel better when I lie down closing the eyes. Inconveniences are more during the morning. I think I have more urges for sexual engagement than normal people.
3. I am little introvert and used to feel shy when I was a child. While I was a minor boy, I had been suffering from scabbies and continuous runny nose. I lost my mother when I was at the age of 3 years. My father had been suffering from cold and died from Influenza.
4. Hope I will get valuable advice from you urgently to recover from my illness. Thank you very much for your patience.
