Chronic Fatigue And Extreme Tiredness Making Life Miserable ? Try Homeopathy

Homeopathic remedies for chronic fatigue syndrome

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 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 minimum six months that decreases the ability to do daily routine activities and is unexplained by any underlying medical condition.

Homeopathic Treatment

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can be very effectively treated with natural homeopathic remedies. Homeopathic medicines are completely safe with zero side effects. Sourced from natural substances, 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.

The top-grade medicines for chronic fatigue syndrome are Kali Phos, Arsenic album, Coffea Cruda, Gelsemium, Rhus Tox, Belladonna and Ignatia.

  6. Gail Naegele says:

    I was diagnosed with CFS 35 years ago, 7 years after a mycoplasma infection so serious that the 50 people reported with it were written in the NYC papers. 7 years later I caught EBV from my infant son and from then on have been on the long worsening journey. Symptoms and feelings of viruses occurring over and over again and worsening over the years, although I worked as a nurse, often parttime due to fatigue. After my second OHS for Aortic valve replacements, although my heart is working, nothing else is. I have most of the symptoms of ME/CHF; I infer an immunity imbalance of some kind, over and underactive. Sometimes I believe I don’t really have the same infection again; because no one ever caught anything from me. Now I am almost bedridden. I am out of options, almost every movement is tiring. No point in meaningless life I’ve always believed. I am now taking neuro recover liquesence, and total body liquesence; and am thinking of stopping the mycoblaster mycoplasma as my sore throat has cleared up. But the weakness and fatigue has not. Your input would be most appreciated.

  12. Sir, I am a disabled soldier from BSF. Retired 11 years back and diabetic for last 10 years. I am writing this for my son. He is 19 years and an engineering student (CS) first year. The problem is that he feels a lot of fatigue. He get out of the bed very late in the morning almost everyday. He studies but the marks he obtains is nothing but satisfactory. Every evening he goes to play foot ball along with his friends but becomes tired very soon and sitting in the gallery. He wants to study but couldn’t cope as he forget easily what he studied. His height is over 6 foot with a good physic but his thighs and buttex are little heavy, I felt. He has flat foot and I suggested some exercise for that and he felt pain like cramping when the bone slipped upward to its position and do not stay there.
    Please suggest whether the homeopathic medicine kali Phos is suitable for him or is there any other medicine available for him.
    With regards,

    My father is 81 yrs old. he had High BP and hypoglycemia . recently he fell down on his back side and had was diagnosed that a nerve inside brain had broken and slight bleeding and said the sudden fall was due to low sodium levels. He was treated and discharged from hospital. At that time I gave arnica 1m for every 3 hrs for 2 days. it was happened last month. for the past two weeks he is complaining of severe weakness in sleep ie usually after midnight and before early morning. at that time he is taking glucose and a cup of stong coffee. and a Zarda pan (he had that habit for the last 50 yrs|). then he says he is feeling better and is going to sleep.
