Restful Ways To Treat Chronic Fatigue

Acupuncture

Some symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome may be alleviated through acupuncture, according to multiple studies. Acupuncture is an alternative medicine practice that's been used for thousands of years. During acupuncture treatments, thin needles penetrate the skin to help disrupt the messages nerves send. Multiple studies have shown acupuncture helps with chronic pain, though researchers aren't sure why yet. In patients with chronic fatigue, studies show acupuncture helps with general mental health, quality of life, and physiological function. Some patients also experienced improvements in their pain levels and ability to function socially. Some studies indicate acupuncture can help with energy levels as well.
