Generalized fatigue is a common complaint characterized by a pervasive and persistent sense of weariness, lack of energy, and diminished capacity for physical and mental work. Unlike normal tiredness which results from specific exertion and is usually alleviated by rest, generalized fatigue is chronic and not proportionate to one's activity level.
This symptom can manifest in various forms, such as debility, lassitude, and exhaustion, including specific types like morning fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), generalized fatigue is viewed through the lens of energy balance and harmony within the body. TCM practitioners believe this condition results from disharmonies or deficiencies in the body’s Qi (vital energy), Blood, Yin, or Yang.
TCM approaches fatigue not just as a physical issue but as a holistic imbalance, emphasizing the interconnectedness of physical symptoms with emotional and mental well-being. Identifying the underlying pattern of disharmony is crucial for effective treatment in TCM.
