Fatigue means lack of energy, tiredness whether it is mentally or physically. Fatigue may be due to several reasons.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a chronic disorder characterized by debilitating fatigue of longer than six (6) months duration.
Cause of Fatigue
No one is certain about what causes Cronic Fatigue syndrome. The symptoms may be caused by an immune system that isn't working well. Or they may be caused by some kind of virus. Researchers are looking for the cause of CFS.
Natural Home remedies for the treatment of fatigue
Some proposed treatments are unproven and may be harmful. Therapy should not aggravate existing symptoms or create new ones. It should not mask another illness that needs identification and specific treatment. Finally, therapy should not impose an excessive financial burden on the patient.
Nutritional supplements can play an important role in your chronic fatigue recovery program. They help stimulate your immune system, glands, and digestive tract, and they can help stabilize and relax your mood.
Dietary changes can help improve nutritional status. Protein, fatty acids and carnitine are thought to be important dietary elements, and insufficient amounts can contribute to muscle fatigue. Certain vitamins and minerals have also been shown to be low in HIV-positive people and are often associated with weight loss and fatigue.
