A monument could be erected to the feet of a woman living these days, when all events occur at a rapid pace. Whatever they have to go through! This includes forced inactivity during sedentary work in the office, and, on the contrary, excessive activity during endless shopping trips, and the enormous weight of purchases, and standing in long lines, and trendy and incredibly beautiful, but not always comfortable, high-heeled shoes. ... And how much do they have to go through during a woman’s pregnancy? Therefore, it is not at all surprising that many modern women often have pain in their legs from fatigue. This can cause a lot of trouble. First of all, it is an unpleasant sensation. Also – a decrease in the quality of life, because pain does not at all contribute to enjoying reality and communicating with loved ones. And finally, this threatens the development of certain diseases, for example, varicose veins.
Maybe someday someone will actually think of erecting a monument to strong and resilient women’s legs. But until that happens, there is something you can do for them too. Every woman has the power to take care of her feet, relieve fatigue, prevent the development of certain diseases, and pamper her with a massage. Let's figure out together what can be done to ensure that the lower limbs remain healthy and beautiful for as long as possible, and how to relieve fatigue from the legs.
First of all, many troubles can be prevented. Of course, most women want to proudly carry themselves in high heels. And no matter how doctors frighten the fair half of humanity with various possible unpleasant consequences, this is unlikely to convince lovers of such shoes. However, you don’t have to give up high heels at all. Just try not to wear them every day, alternating them with more foot-friendly shoes. The ideal heel height for everyday wear is no more than 4 centimeters. Well, we’ll leave the higher ones for holidays and special occasions.
Also, no matter how beautiful the shoes are, you should refrain from buying them if they seem even a little uncomfortable to you when you try them on. Some women are willing to buy shoes that are a little too tight in hopes of wearing them out. However, these days there are a huge number of cute shoes in stores, you can always find a more comfortable alternative, but you only have feet. Orthopedic insoles will also help alleviate their plight.
You should approach the choice of tights, socks, and stockings with no less responsibility. It is recommended to prefer natural materials: silk, linen, wool, cotton. But in synthetic tights and stockings, your legs get tired faster. And this does not mean that you are now doomed to constantly wear trousers in combination with cotton socks during the cold season. Nowadays, it is not at all difficult to find beautiful stockings and tights made from natural materials that go perfectly with dresses and skirts.
You should also take care every day to prevent leg fatigue. If you walk a lot every day, then when you get to your apartment, do not rush to immediately do household chores. Let your legs rest for 10-15 minutes. To do this, you need to sit or lie down so that your legs are raised, optimally above your head (put a pillow under them, a blanket rolled up, put them on a high chair, etc.). This way, you will restore blood circulation, which will help you get rid of fatigue and discomfort.
If you have a sedentary job, then you need to take five-minute breaks every hour. You can simply walk around the room and walk in place, or you can do a few simple exercises, such as squats or bends.
Walking barefoot is a good way to prevent leg fatigue. It is best to walk on grass or sand.
What to do if your legs ache and buzz unbearably? We will relieve unpleasant sensations in several stages.
If you don’t like sudden changes in temperature, then instead of a contrast shower, you can take a warm foot bath.
If you hold your limbs for 10-15 minutes just in cool water, you will already feel relief. But you can complicate this procedure by adding herbs, sea salt, and essential oils.
Herbs can work real miracles. You can make baths with their infusions that will restore vigor to your legs:
If you have essential oils at your disposal, you can also prepare wonderful baths with them:
You can use other essential oils as well. Regardless of whether you choose one or more, the optimal total amount is 3-5 drops per bath. In addition to the above, oils of geranium, rosemary, lemon, juniper, chamomile, and cypress help well. However, it should be remembered that they are not added “clean” to the water. Essential oils do not dissolve in water, therefore, so that they do not float on top as a film, they should first be combined with some kind of base (soda, salt, milk, clay, etc.). If you are pregnant, these products should be used with caution. After all, certain essential oils may be contraindicated in your situation. It is best to consult your doctor about their use.
If you don’t have any herbs or oils at home, and your feet hurt, you can use what is available in every kitchen: soda or salt (preferably sea salt, but regular salt will do). They are taken in the amount of two tablespoons per bath.
In case of severe general fatigue, nothing can help better than a full body bath.
Sometimes pain is accompanied by swelling. Folk remedies will help remove them.
Ice cubes made from infusions of herbs such as chamomile, yarrow, sage, and lemon balm are good for getting rid of swelling. Just rub it over your tired feet, massaging gently.
Cabbage leaves will also help relieve swelling. It should be rolled with a rolling pin and then applied to areas with swelling. A bandage or plaster will help secure it. You need to keep this compress for at least half an hour.
If you are not afraid of the pungent smell of garlic, then you can use it to eliminate swelling by chopping it with a grater, blender or press. The resulting slurry must be poured with a glass of boiling water, left to steep, and then smeared on the legs with this mixture. After half an hour, the garlic should be washed off, and the feet should be kept in cold water for 10-15 minutes, gently massaging.
If swelling bothers you often, it may be due to some kind of disease (for example, kidney problems, metabolic disorders, flat feet), so you should definitely consult a doctor. And if leg fatigue has become a common, everyday condition for you, you also need to visit a doctor.
After work, your feet are buzzing and you don’t know what to do? Find out how to help your feet and say goodbye to fatigue.
Probably each of us knows firsthand what tired legs are. Especially if at work you have to stand on your feet for a long time or be in a sitting position. With such loads, the outflow of lymph and venous blood is disrupted. As a result, congestion occurs in the legs, which causes unpleasant symptoms. And if you don’t pay attention to fatigue and let everything take its course, then over time this can develop into big health problems.
It is worth noting right away that if you already have such painful manifestations on your legs as varicose veins, pronounced swelling, then it is wise to consult a doctor. The doctor will select an effective treatment regimen based on the characteristics of your disease.
Well, if there are no serious problems with your legs, but fatigue still torments you, then everything can be fixed. You just have to pay attention to your feet and show a little patience and hard work.
Comfortable shoes and changing positions
The first thing you should pay attention to is the shoes you are wearing. Make it a rule that you should never skimp on shoes! It is better to buy expensive but comfortable shoes than to spoil your health by being content with the money you save.
Women should pay special attention to heels. It is believed that the human body can adapt to 3-4 centimeter heels without harm. However, here you should exercise moderation and not spend the whole day in heels. Orthopedist-traumatologist of the highest category of the Kyiv City Center for Foot Pathology and Rehabilitation of Orthopedic and Traumatological Patients A.Yu. Bugrov says that a couple of hours in heels is quite tolerable for the body. However, if you walk all day in high heels, then the biomechanics of the foot are disrupted and deformities occur, which can lead to pain, lameness and even disability!
If you have a sedentary job, try to take breaks of 5-10 minutes every hour. During this time, take a walk in the yard, or if this is not possible, walk around the office. It's good if you can walk up the stairs. This activity will improve blood circulation in your legs, and by the evening you will not feel tired.
Massage saves you from fatigue. To do this, apply massage oil or cream to the sole of your foot and begin to make circular massaging movements. Spend 10-15 minutes on each foot, moving from heel to toe and back.
If you have dilated veins, be sure to consult your doctor, as this massage is contraindicated for you.
Baths to relieve fatigue
In the fight against tired legs, baths with sea salt, medicinal herbs and other ingredients have worked well. If you don't have sea salt, kitchen salt will do. The water temperature should be no more than 37 degrees. The procedure time is 15-20 minutes. Nettle, chamomile, St. John's wort, string, wormwood and horsetail are used as medicinal herbs for baths. Make a decoction based on one of the above herbs and take a bath.
Alternately dipping your feet in cold and hot water relieves fatigue from your legs. To do this, take two basins with cold and hot (about 40 degrees) water and lower your legs in turn, into each basin for 5-10 seconds. Repeat the procedure 15-20 times, ending with cold water. After that, you need to rub your feet with a towel and lubricate them with cream.
Bicycle and baby's joy
An excellent help in the fight against leg fatigue will be to perform simple exercises in the morning. You need to stretch your arms and legs above you, so you will resemble an inverted letter “p”. Now start shaking your arms and legs. If you've noticed, this is what babies do when they experience joy. Exercise is very beneficial for capillaries and relieves fatigue from the legs.
Another exercise that will be useful is cycling. In a lying position, raise your legs and imitate riding a bicycle, turning imaginary pedals. This exercise perfectly copes with congestion and improves blood circulation.
These simple exercises can be performed in the morning without getting out of bed. Spend a few minutes on each exercise.
Why do my legs become weak? Quite a few people ask this question. For some, the symptom develops suddenly, like a bolt from the blue. For others, leg weakness increases gradually. It can be overwhelming in the morning or evening. This unpleasant condition can be combined with many other problems: dizziness, nausea, various pains. How to figure out: what is happening to you and which doctor should you contact first?
If you think that weakness in your legs means it's time to visit an orthopedist, you are mistaken: there are many reasons for such ailment. Therefore, the first specialist you should contact is a therapist, who will then give you a “way sheet” and tell you which of the highly specialized specialists to contact first. Often people with leg weakness complain of many other symptoms - combining them will give a clear picture. Another thing is also true: without visiting a therapist and without hearing questions about symptoms, some people do not even think about the fact that many other blurred signals are bothering them. For example, joint stiffness in the morning, numbness or mild pain in the toes, decreased sensation in the foot area, mild aching pain in the joints or muscles. Also, a sick person may not notice the signs of general malaise: increased fatigue, general weakness, absent-mindedness. Many people do not connect symptoms such as dizziness and weakness in the legs or a sharp decrease in mood and lethargy of the muscles of the lower extremities. To find out which examinations to do first and which doctors to contact, the therapist usually prescribes first-level diagnostic procedures: x-ray of bones, general blood and urine tests, ECG (electrocardiogram).
Some of the most dangerous diseases that can begin with seemingly harmless weakness in the legs are heart attack and stroke. How to recognize a stroke in time? A stroke develops when a vessel is blocked by a particle of atherosclerotic plaque, a blood clot, or when there is a prolonged spasm of cerebral vessels. Poor circulation can make itself felt by “precursors”, one of which is severe weakness in one or more limbs. Weakness in the legs lasts no more than an hour on average, but can recur throughout the day, and the obvious signs of a stroke develop later. Similar precursors may also indicate the development of a so-called microstroke (a condition caused by minor hemorrhage or exclusively vasospasm without lesions). A rare exception is a spinal stroke, which results in lameness and significant persistent weakness in the legs, as well as a drop in the threshold of sensation in the legs. In the case of a spinal stroke, an infarction of the spinal cord vessels occurs, most often caused by osteochondrosis or a vertebral hernia. Any stroke is a life-threatening condition, so such symptoms must be treated with great care. Even with the best outcome, a stroke can result in complete or partial paralysis of the legs. In the case of a stroke, the first few days usually decide everything: the earlier treatment and rehabilitation begin, the higher the chances of a full recovery.
Determining the onset of a heart attack is not so easy. With the so-called cerebral form of infarction, the main symptoms are not pain in the heart, as is commonly thought, but paresis and weakness in the limbs. Sometimes all this is accompanied by suddenly developing swelling of the legs. Every fifth person suffers a heart attack on his legs - and this costs him, if not his life, then at least a normal quality of future life. If weakness in the legs is accompanied by nausea and stomach pain, before contacting a gastroenterologist or habitually ignoring the problem, attributing it to mild poisoning, press on the area of the gastrointestinal tract. If you do not feel pain when pressed and cannot find a clear localization of the pain, it is better to call an ambulance - this resembles the harbingers of a heart attack. If, in addition to stability in your legs, you are worried about even unexpressed heart pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, numbness of the limbs, you should call “103” without hesitation, because minutes can count.
In addition to such serious problems, chronic diseases of the circulatory system usually affect gait and result in weakness in the legs. If you also experience pain in one or both legs, pay attention to this: if it goes away when your legs are elevated, you most likely have venous disease. If, on the contrary, when the leg is raised, the pain intensifies, the arteries are obviously damaged.
Atherosclerosis - blockage and narrowing of the lumen of blood vessels by cholesterol plaques - is one of the most common reasons due to which it becomes increasingly difficult for older people to move over the years. Although this disease sounds familiar, it can end extremely sadly: for example, lead to gangrene of the leg with subsequent amputation. That is why it is very important to consult a doctor at the first signs of atherosclerosis - with treatment started in the early stages, the prognosis is very favorable. It is important to know that the most common cause of weakness in the legs is atherosclerosis of the blood vessels of the legs. But atherosclerosis of the cerebral or coronary arteries can also cause weakness in the legs, undermining the overall strength of the body and impairing blood supply to the entire body, including the lower extremities. Treatment of the vessels of the extremities will help here - modern methods and techniques.
So don’t be surprised if the therapist recommends that the first thing you do is see a cardiologist, do an ultrasound of the heart, angiography of the vessels of the legs.
What circulatory problems most often lead to leg weakness?
It is worth distinguishing between muscle weakness and a general state of increased fatigue and weakness. Chronic muscle fatigue or sudden weakness can develop either only in the legs or in the limbs as a whole. It is important to feel that your legs are buckling from fatigue, becoming “wobbly” due to a faint state, that is, you feel the weakness of your legs subjectively, or it is the muscles of your legs that have suffered - they are physically no longer able to cope with the load that they bore before, that is, they have developed objective weakness of the legs. For example, with flat feet, the muscles of the foot are affected. Moderate muscle tissue dystrophy can be caused by banal aging, a decrease in metabolism due to this, and hormonal imbalances. More pronounced - as a complication after injury to the legs or spine, with polyneuritis, as a manifestation of complications of certain infectious and parasitic diseases, with chronic poisoning. Some hereditary diseases associated with muscle dystrophy become obvious from the first days of a child’s life - for example, spinal muscular atrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myopathies, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (about 15 such diseases are known). But many genetic diseases that cause muscle dystrophy or atrophy appear only at an age above 30 years. For example, progressive muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy. There are myotonia, myoplegia and other hereditary neuromuscular diseases. We have to talk about congenital weakness of the leg muscles in some forms of cerebral palsy (in most cases we are talking about hypertonicity, spastic phenomena, in which muscle overstrain ultimately interferes with normal movement).
The simplest reason why the muscles of the whole body, including the legs, gradually begin to weaken is a lack of protein. If a person does not receive enough protein from diet, the body begins to replenish protein reserves using muscle tissue, and the person feels general weakness.
What diseases with decreased muscle strength most often lead to leg weakness?
In half of the cases, after 15-20 years of diabetes, neuropathy of the feet develops. Under the influence of high levels of glucose in the body, a disturbance in the nutrition of the nerves and their oxygen starvation develops. The patient, if diabetic neuropathy develops, feels numbness in the feet, impaired sensitivity, heaviness when walking, and weakness of the legs. If treatment is not started in time, ulcers appear on the skin, almost painless. An increase in their number can lead to amputation of the feet (this problem happens in every seventh patient with diabetic polyneuropathy). This is the most common reason for decreased sensitivity in the legs, but it is far from the only one. For example, with funicular myelosis - degeneration of the spinal cord - spinal insufficiency occurs with the same symptoms: impaired sensitivity in the extremities, numbness, tingling, disappearance of deep sensitivity in the lower extremities, weakness of the legs. Over time, the problem develops into paralysis of the legs. The hallmark of this condition is pronounced B12 deficiency anemia. About 150 reasons can lead to polyneuropathy: various viruses (HIV, cytomegalovirus (even with a sharply reduced immunity), bacteria (for example, with diphtheria), chemical poisoning, cancer, lymphoma and even long-term alcoholism.
What diseases lead to nerve damage and decreased sensitivity in the legs, resulting in leg weakness?
A subjective feeling of weakness in the legs can develop due to general cerebral conditions such as a concussion or neuroinfection. This is usually accompanied by nausea, headaches, and general weakness. A brain tumor can cause a similar symptom for two reasons: either it is a consequence of a general weakening of the body, or the tumor has affected the area of the brain responsible for movement. In this case, weakness of the legs often increases slowly (with benign neoplasms) or rapidly (with malignant neoplasms), and ends in paralysis. A neurologist is one of the main doctors you should contact if you have leg weakness.
But with multiple sclerosis, weakness in the legs is one of the first signs, which may also be accompanied by visual impairment. Often people do not associate these symptoms, and they can increase at a slow pace. So it is better to undergo an unnecessary examination than to miss the onset of a disease that threatens disability. After all, patients should think about multiple sclerosis: how to slow down its progression. Patients do not immediately notice that their legs begin to get tired and gait disturbances appear. The problem lies in the disruption of the passage of nerve impulses along the nerve fibers of the central nervous system. Accompanying muscle spasms result in muscle weakness in multiple sclerosis. Many other autoimmune diseases lead to a similar result.
What diseases of the central nervous system most often lead to leg weakness?
It happens that it is not physical, but mental problems that lead to subjective weakness of the legs. Stress and psychological trauma can make you literally fall off your feet, although you are not overworked. Sometimes weakness of the legs and general weakness become one of the first signs of mental illness noticeable to others.
What mental problems most often lead to weak legs?
If weakness of the legs is combined with a feeling of numbness, crawling, tingling, pain in the extremities is added, damage to the spine can cause such a symptom complex. Most often this is osteochondrosis - a process that destroys the structure of the cartilage and connective tissue of the vertebrae. Soon this begins to affect the nerves and blood vessels, which narrow and spasm. The symptom develops slowly. Much depends on which part of the spine is affected. If one of the lower ones, weakness appears in the legs, then pain is added, which only intensifies with rest and sleep. The legs do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, and local metabolic products are not fully excreted. The spine loves movement, of course, but during a certain period of illness, movement (walking, for example) is difficult for a person.
If inflammation develops in a joint, it will usually make itself felt by pain, swelling, and redness. Weakness of the legs will not be the first or only symptom, but no less pronounced, since the ability to move normally is impaired.
If the problem has been bothering you for a long time and persistently, you can assume one of the following diagnoses:
Are your legs very tired after a hard day? You don't know what to do and how to relieve tired legs? Don't worry - now we will give answers to the most common questions and tell you how to quickly relieve fatigue at home.
Probably, each of us at least once in our lives has encountered the problem of tired legs. Most often this happens after a hard day. If you often sit or stand at work, you may be in for an unpleasant surprise in the evening.
The fact is that constant stay in an upright position disrupts blood circulation, and the outflow of lymph and venous blood worsens. If this process is not stopped in time, blood stagnation in the veins may develop, swelling and pain in the legs will appear.
All this will gradually lead a person to chronic diseases, which, in turn, will lead to other problems.
The most common reasons that contribute to the appearance of heaviness in the legs are:
This happens if the shoes are too tight and are made entirely of artificial materials.
Wearing cheap and low-quality shoes significantly increases the load on your feet, as a result of which they get tired faster.
Men don't have any concerns about this because they don't wear heels. But for women this problem cannot be ruled out.
Many women are accustomed to wearing high heels not only for going out, but also for everyday walks.
As a result, the load on the legs increases, heaviness, swelling occurs, and sometimes aching pain appears in the legs. But you can’t wear shoes without heels at all! For daily walks, women are recommended to wear comfortable and stable shoes with small heels.
Daily rinsing of the feet with cold water significantly improves blood circulation and relieves constant fatigue and heaviness of the feet.
Therefore, many experts recommend following hygiene rules in order to get rid of such problems.
You need to exercise regularly, however, you should remember that excessive exercise will not lead to anything good.
Remember, your legs require regular rest!
Therefore, try to rest more often by raising your legs higher (on a pillow, for example).
In patients, most often women, heaviness in the legs occurs in the late afternoon, after work. Some people experience pain in their feet and heels, while others experience no pain.
But, in both the first and second cases, treatment must be carried out immediately after the first symptoms of the disease are noticed. Since lack of treatment can lead to impaired venous circulation and the formation of blood clots.
If heaviness in the legs is accompanied by swelling, pain, the appearance of spider veins or varicose veins, you should immediately consult a doctor. Most likely, the patient develops varicose veins. In this case, the doctor will select the treatment on an individual basis.
If we are talking about prevention, you can use traditional medicine recipes. Folk remedies help the patient quickly get rid of fatigue.
To prepare it, dilute 2 tablespoons of clay in warm water. The output should have the consistency of sour cream. The finished mask should be applied to the soles of the feet for 25-30 minutes. At the end of this time, wash off the mask with warm water, massage the feet and lubricate the legs with cream.
The number of bananas can be any, 2-3 are recommended. Peel the bananas and grind them in a blender. Then mix corn flour with 50 g of kefir for thickness. The finished mask is applied to the legs for 15-20 minutes. Wash off with warm water.
All of these traditional medicine recipes listed above are recommended to be used after prior consultation with a doctor and only for preventive purposes.
Muscle tension, pain in the legs and knees, heaviness and fatigue - these symptoms require mandatory examination by a specialist.

Natalya, 32 years old “I don’t suffer from varicose veins, but just recently I started wondering what to put on my legs after a hard day at work? I found the answer on the Internet, but for some reason I didn’t dare order it. They advertised some kind of spray to relieve tired legs, but I could not find information about the manufacturer or the active ingredients. Therefore, I decided not to risk it and go to the doctor. He recommended Troxevasin ointment to me. I really like the ointment, my legs stopped hurting immediately, the heaviness went away. I was also pleasantly surprised by the fact that the gel does not have an unpleasant odor compared to analogues. The price is affordable, the effect is amazing.”

Previously, baths with mint and lemon juice helped me relax my legs. But lately, the fatigue has not gone away. I went to the doctor. The doctor recommended Chestnut and Propolis cream. I really liked it. The effect occurs immediately after application. My legs don't hurt. Now that’s all I use.”

This is what I always pay attention to when choosing cosmetics and medicines, since I often suffer from allergies. Fortunately, there was no allergy to this cream. Perfectly relieves heaviness and slight swelling of the legs.”
It is very difficult for modern people to withstand various stresses in the modern frantic pace of life. An unfavorable environmental situation, poor quality nutrition, and non-compliance with the daily routine further aggravate the situation. In addition, the vast majority of people have to work quite hard to provide for themselves and their families. This is probably why in the 21st century a new mass disease entered our lives - chronic fatigue syndrome. What is chronic fatigue and how to deal with it?
Doctors have not yet come to a consensus that this is a disease or simply a state of the body at a certain stage of life. But this doesn’t make things any easier for those who are faced with chronic fatigue. Indeed, in this state a person gets tired very quickly, feels constant fatigue, he develops apathy and absent-mindedness, and if a person is prone to depressive states, then they manifest themselves in all their glory.
A person suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome is absent-minded, apathetic, and develops sleep disturbances and unreasonable fears. Memory and attention deteriorate. Consulting a doctor is highly recommended if you have these symptoms. Doctors say that if you do not get treatment in a timely manner, prolonged chronic fatigue syndrome can lead you not only to depression, but also to schizophrenia. We sincerely hope that such severe cases will not happen to you.
Chronic fatigue syndrome most often affects women 20-45 years old, but many patients are also among men. As a rule, people seek medical help for this condition in the autumn-winter period, which allowed doctors to conclude that chronic fatigue is directly related to seasonal depression. Chronic fatigue syndrome is considered an occupational disease of office workers, since they are more likely than representatives of other professions to seek medical help for this issue.
This question interests people whose doctors discover chronic fatigue syndrome. Indeed, why immediately chronic? Just tired! Indeed, the symptoms of this disorder are in many ways similar to ordinary fatigue. But it is possible to distinguish them. If a week's vacation does not fill you with strength and does not return the desire to work, and upon returning home you again plunge into apathy, then chronic fatigue syndrome is occurring. If you have normal fatigue, as a rule, one day off is enough.
Just 20-30 years ago there was simply no such concept in medicine. But the large amount of information that a modern person receives, the fast pace of his life, and intellectual overload become the reason for the activation of the brain. Therefore, a person consumes more oxygen. Considering the unfavorable environmental situation in the world (and especially in big cities), poor nutrition, and lack of proper regular night rest, one can understand why there is a lack of oxygen in the body. Hypoxia causes metabolic disorders. The body is gradually slagging. The immune system weakens. The human body becomes susceptible to viruses, fungal organisms, and bacteria. That's why he gets sick very often.
Chronic fatigue syndrome affects the central nervous system and brain. They are going through a period of physical and mental stress. Chronic diseases are getting worse. As you can see, chronic fatigue syndrome affects the entire body.
Treatment for chronic fatigue should begin as early as possible. It is advisable to do so when the first signs of the disease appear. Treatment is quite long and expensive. Various methods and preparations are used to cleanse the body. People diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome are given medications to restore normal brain function, restore the immune system, endocrine system, and gastrointestinal tract. And of course, psychologists and psychotherapists work with a person - rehabilitation of the emotional sphere is no less important than restoration of physical health.
It is easier to prevent any disease than to treat it. This statement also applies to chronic fatigue. What should you do to prevent the onset of symptoms?
Most doctors agreed that the psychological state in which a person spends a significant part of the time plays a large role in the development of chronic fatigue syndrome. For example, you are forced to do a job that you do not like. We will not advise changing your field of activity (although this is an ideal option). Most often this is not possible, at least not in the near future. We advise you to find a hobby that will become a kind of outlet. Chat with friends, play sports, get a four-legged friend or do some handicrafts. Try to compensate for job dissatisfaction with other positive emotions. This way you will maintain harmony in your soul and believe in your strength.
Our distant grandparents knew nothing about pharmaceuticals, so they were treated with herbs that helped restore mental balance and physical strength.
So, plantain is a wonderful restorative agent. Take ten dried leaves, chop them, pour boiling water over them. This can be done in a thermos or wrapped in a blanket. Insist for half an hour. Drink two tablespoons 20 minutes before meals three times a day. You can dilute the infusion with warm water, add honey and drink plantain as tea.
A tincture of dandelion, nettle, wormwood and calamus root restores strength well. You need to take half a glass of young nettles and the same amount of dandelions. Tear up plants with roots, leaves and buds. Mix, add a tablespoon of wormwood herb and chopped calamus root. Grind everything using a blender or grind in a meat grinder. Pour the infusion with 0.5 liters of vodka. Leave for 10 days in a warm place, remembering to shake the container periodically. After the tincture is ready, strain it and take it daily in the morning and evening half an hour before meals. Dissolve a teaspoon of tincture in 50 ml of water.
Modern aromatherapists consider cinnamon and citrus oil to be the enemies of melancholy. You can use them in any way that suits you. You can make a tincture from cinnamon (50 g ground cinnamon + 0.5 liters of vodka). It takes three weeks to prepare; the vessel must be shaken periodically. Drop citrus oil into an aroma lamp to fill your home with aroma. Soon there will be no trace of melancholy and fatigue.
