Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome or Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME / CFS) is a loosely defined term for a complex health disorder primarily affecting a person’s ability to function with energy and grit. All cases labeled as chronic fatigue syndrome have a distinct history of an illness, an infection, an emotional upset, or a traumatic event that precede debilitating symptoms.

Conventional medicine does not offer any ‘scientific’ explanation behind this condition, but in homeopathic literature spanning more than 200 years, there are numerous citations of triggers and causes for this condition.

According to homeopathic philosophy, there is never a ‘single’ cause responsible for any disease condition. It is the person that gets sick, not a part of the body. Also, it is always a combination of causative, contributing and maintaining factors that may be physical or emotional. Chronic fatigue syndrome is a cluster of symptoms that are a result of a progressive decline in general health and failure of the body to function normally.
