How to Treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome With Natural Remedies

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a condition with symptoms that include short-term memory loss, problems being able to concentrate, mental fogginess, lymph node pain and swelling, headache, sore muscles, irritability, nightmares and difficulty sleeping. This illness is generally the result of a lifetime of inadequate health habits. If you have been experiencing any of the symptoms of CFS for six months, without any sign of improvement, you need to see your doctor for an evaluation. If it is determined that you have CFS, you may opt for natural remedies to treat your condition.

Instructions

• 1

  Make sure that you are eating a healthy diet that consists of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, skinless poultry, whole grains and yogurt. Junk foods, sodas, caffeine, shellfish, white flour, sugar and fried foods should be avoided.

• 2

  Drink a lot of water and fresh unsweetened juices.

• 3

  Walk or do moderate aerobic exercises. This may take some effort on your part, due to the nature of CFS, but it can actually aid in boosting your energy and diminishing depression.

• 4

  Find out from a homeopathic practitioner which homeopathic remedies will help with relieving your CFS symptoms. Common remedies used to treat CFS include Lycopodium, Arsenicum album, Nux vomica, Anacardium and Kali phosphoricum.

• 5

  Take herbs that can be beneficial, such as olive leaf extract, ginseng, red clover, echinacea, kava, valerian, ginkgo biloba, nettle and flaxseed oil. Let your doctor know about any herbal remedies you want to take to see if there are any drug interactions.

• 6

  Supplement with chromium, magnesium, CoQ10, zinc, vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitamin E. Again, check with your doctor to see if these have any drug interactions.

• 7

  Eliminate as much stress as you can from your life. Realize what your limitations are and don't overextend yourself. Rest, whenever you feel it is necessary. Do deep breathing exercises to help you feel more relaxed.
