Fatigue is a feeling of having low energy or tiredness which may have resulted from physical or mental exertion or illness.  This can lead to a person’s inability to normally perform his daily activities.

Fatigue is a signal from your body that it needs proper attention.  But the first step in treating fatigue is always done at home with the use of non medical and natural ways.  It starts with a check in the way you live.  If you continually spend energy without giving your body enough time to recover or recharge, fatigue is a natural consequence.  You need to address it by giving your body sufficient time to rest and replenish the energy you lost in your daily activities.

But there are times when it’s not your lifestyle that’s causing your fatigue.  It can be caused by medical problems such as anemia, thyroid disease, depression or sleep problems like insomnia.  If your feeling of tiredness is not triggered by an energy-draining lifestyle, you should refer your problem to a medical professional.

If you want to use non medical methods to address your problem, there are lots of natural herbs to treat fatigue.  These are:

1. Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus)

This is a tested fatigue buster that’s been used for many years.  Aside from its ability to alleviate fatigue, Siberian ginseng can also give you more energy to improve your performance even under stressful conditions.  It also contains properties that help to improve your resistance to viral infections.

2. Chinese Ginseng (Panax ginseng)

This herb is as potent in combating fatigue as the Siberian ginseng and it is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries.

Chinese ginseng can be too strong or stimulating, and it is not recommended for long term use for most people.  You should use it under the supervision of an herbal practitioner.

3. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)

Licorice is not just a fatigue buster but a potent energy booster as well.  It has a pleasant taste that blends well with tea to make it easy for you to ingest.  This herb also contains properties that help to fight inflammation and viral infections.

4. Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis)

This herb is used by practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat fatigue, maintain energy levels, and strengthen tissues.  It contains properties that help to relieve stress and improve sleep.  It is also believed to help regulate blood sugar levels, improve memory and support the health of your lungs, kidneys and liver.

5. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)

Reishi is one of the most popular herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its ability to treat many health issues.  It is a potent energy and immunity booster with a calming effect that helps to reduce stress and improve sleep.

These are some of the most popular herbs that help to treat fatigue.  Use them with the help of an herbal professional to enjoy their maximum health benefits.
