Home Remedies for Fatigue.
Almost every one has to work long hours on certain occasions, sacrificing rest and sleep. This may
cause temporary fatigue.
Fatigue refers to a feeling of tiredness or weariness. It can be temporary or chronic. This
condition can be remedied by adequate rest. Chronic or continuous fatigue is, however, a serious
problem which requires a comprehensive plan of treatment.
A specific character trait, compulsiveness, can lead to continuous fatigue. Many persons
constantly feel that they cannot take rest until they finish everything that needs to be done at
one time. These persons are usually tense and cannot relax unless they complete the whole job,
no matter how tired they may be.
The main cause of fatigue is lowered vitality or lack of energy due to wrong feeding habits. The
habitual use of refined foods such as white sugar, refined cereals, white flour products, and
processed foods have very bad effect on the system in general. Foods 'denatured' in this way are
deprived, to a very great extent, of their invaluable vitamins and minerals. Certain physical and
mental conditions can cause fatigue. These include anaemia, intestinal worms, low blood
pressure, low blood sugar, any kind of infection in the body, liver damage, allergy to foods and
drugs, insomnia, mental tension, and unresolved emotional problems. Poisons and toxins
resulting from air, soil, and water pollution can also lead to fatigue.
