Fatigue / Fibromyalgia
|
The most common complaint I hear from people who come into The Herb Shop is their lack
of energy. The solution is not the same for everyone. Sometimes the solution is as easy as
taking a high potency multiple vitamin and mineral formula such as Now’s Eco Green or Special
Two. Sometimes it takes a little more investigation and experimentation.
Lack of energy is often the earliest symptom of such health problems as diabetes, anemia,
cancer, hypothroidism, allergies, malabsorption, hypoglycemia, poor circulation, etc.
Persistent fatique is often the result of poor dietary habits and lifestyles, especially the
combination of high-fat and high-refined food and stress. Alcohol, caffeine, drugs, tobacco, stress and incorrect eating habits are all energy robbers. Another energy robber is carbonated drinks. The problem with these drinks is that the body needs a great deal of water to process
their ingredients (caffeine, aspartame, sugar), far more than the drink itself contains. Because of
this, carbonated drinks cause body dehydration which results in lack of energy, stomach
problems, even heart problems, and many other symptoms. For the whole story, read the book
The Body’s Many Cries For Water by Batmanghelidj, M.D.
Stress is another problem. Books like You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay and The Pain
Cure by Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. give concrete suggestions on how to beat stress and
become a happier, more relaxed person.
The following herbs and vitamins have been used to increase energy and well being. I carry
only those products from companies that do independent assays to guarantee the potency of their
products. Books that have been valuable to me are also listed.
