Q What stages does treatment go through for this fatigue that people call adrenal fatigue?
A First, we identify the cause and your constitution through pulse diagnosis, consultation, and any needed testing. Then treatment proceeds by replenishing depleted energy, restoring balance in your organ systems and autonomic nervous system, clearing accumulated waste, and finally stabilizing your recovery. The emphasis and pace are adjusted according to your individual condition.
Detailed Answer
Because chronic stress-related fatigue has multiple, complex causes, treatment starts with testing and consultation to rule out conditions like true adrenal disease and set direction. From there, we work through replenishing your body's foundation and restoring balance, while combining sleep, diet, and stress management to prevent recurrence.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Dongjedang's approach broadly follows four stages: (1) replenishing the source of vital energy to build a foundation of stamina, (2) supporting weakened organ systems and lowering excess heat to balance the autonomic nervous system, (3) clearing accumulated waste to restore circulation, and (4) stabilizing recovery to maintain healthy overall condition. Since each person is deficient in different areas, the emphasis of each stage is customized according to pulse diagnosis findings.
