Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - An Agada Tantra Perspective - Dr. Shanti Nair
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disorder marked by persistent tiredness, impaired concentration, and unrefreshing sleep, often without identifiable pathology. From the perspective of Agad Tantra, CFS shares similarities with Dooshivisha—latent, low-grade toxins that accumulate and disturb doshas and dhatus, leading to chronic systemic manifestations. The subtle, persistent nature of Dooshivisha explains the long-lasting fatigue and multisystem involvement in CFS. Ayurvedic management emphasizes visha hara chikitsa, rasayana therapy, manasika chikitsa, and lifestyle regulation to restore vitality and resilience. This integrative approach highlights the potential of Agad Tantra principles in understanding and managing CFS holistically.
