Tiredness, Post-Viral & Long Covid

Tiredness, Post-Viral & Long Covid

Traditional Chinese Medicine is very effective in boosting energy levels and enhancing wellbeing. It can treat people who are generally tired and have noticed a drop in energy levels. In many cases prolonged systemic stress diminishes immunity and obstructs energy flow resulting in chronic fatigue. The Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment for this uses acupuncture and herbal medicine for the purpose of strengthening a weakened immune function, boosting vital energy, nourishing the blood, increasing lymph circulation, promoting proper elimination of toxins and promoting deep relaxation as well as renewing mental function. It can also treat those suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome (ME), post viral fatigue and Long Covid who have the kind of fatigue that lasts a long time and limits their ability to do everyday activities.


Acupuncture can help with tiredness whatever the cause. Many clients who have acupuncture treatment for another condition, comment on how they have seen their energy levels improve since they started their treatments.
Acupuncture has always been used to heal post-viral symptoms, with great success, and is now being used worldwide to help with the many unpleasant and debilitating effects of Long Covid. It is particularly useful because it treats both physical and emotional issues simultaneously. Acupuncture works well alongside conventional medicine.
The symptoms of Long Covid vary greatly from person to person and can include:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Shortness of breath
    Wheezing or reduced lung capacity
  • Headaches
  • Body aches
  • Tinnitus
  • Poor memory
  • Feeling drowsy
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Brain fog
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Loss of taste or smell
