Ayurveda & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Ayurveda views Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as an imbalance of Vata Dosha (space and air elements) in the body. Some ayurveda practitioners also consider it as aggravated Pitta Dosha (fire and water elements). Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is also a result of accumulation of Ama in the body. Therefore it is a combination of imbalanced Vata (and Pitta) Dosha and accumulated Ama. Ayurveda suggests that fatigue is caused due to low gastric fire and weakness of the liver. It is this low or weak gastric fire that leads to Ama formation. And as we know Ama is the root cause of all diseases in the body. Therefore proper treatment of Ama will help a long way to treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. As Vata is the main Dosha involved, all aspects that belong to Vata Dosha in the body also get imbalanced for e.g the nervous systems, sleep, bone tissue etc.
