Natural Treatments for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Tuesday April 6, 2004
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating illness characterized by overwhelming fatigue and tiredness that doesn't improve with rest. Recent studies suggest that the disorder is a major public health problem, particularly among women. One estimate was that as many as 800,000 adults in the United States may have CFS. What's even more alarming is the estimate that fewer than 20% of these individuals have been diagnosed and received medical attention for this illness.

There is help. Learn information about natural treatments and home remedies for chronic fatigue syndrome, including diet, herbs, nutritional supplements and vitamins, Ayurvedic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and more.
