Let's discuss some herbs that can help with fatigue, exhaustion and even complete burn-out. Exhausted mom syndrome anyone? Being tired in itself might not be a dangerous health concern, but we also shouldn't ignore it until the point of no return. Fatigue can be seriously depressing and keep us from living our full potential. To understand the mechanism of fatigue we can get great insights from Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, both have a much more holistic view of health than our modern western approach. In TCM there is the concept of Jing and Chi, forms of energy. Chi is renewable, but regarding the Jing, we have only a certain amount from birth on, and we are constantly leaking Jing. The goal is to slow down the leaking of Jing through food, herbs and lifestyle changes! A similar concept in Ayurveda would be Ojas, a form of concentrated energy stored in the body. We will discuss types of food that replenish ojas. By the way, fasting and certain detoxes can also deplete ojas, so they are not advisable if we are in a current state of deep-seated fatigue. On the herbal side, we discuss adaptogens which are amazing in restoring our strength and stamina and making us more resistant to stress. Some can be quite energizing! A good long-term fix for low energy levels.
