Writer Tango Pang sheds light on a fairly common problem among the overworked and stressed culture we live in. Adrenal Fatigue. Read on:

One symptom of Adrenal Fatigue is feeling tired all the time. Is this too common? Adrenal Fatigue sufferers will realise that they are especially tired in the morning and late afternoon. Their energy rises after 5:00 p.m. and by the time bedtime rolls around they lie awake struggling to get to sleep.

Next morning you struggle to get up – feel better after 11:00 a.m. – hit the wall around 3:00 p.m. … If this is you, or someone close to your heart, awareness is the first step to ending the agony. And, it is agony to feel tired and overwhelmed all the time.

For those that suffer from Adrenal Fatigue: The on-set is often triggered by a major shock (death, divorce, bankruptcy, job loss, relocation). It is also attributed to unresolved, long-term stress or anxiety (alcoholism, newborn baby adjustments, financial stress.)

You are not the only one if you suffer from Adrenal Fatigue. Adrenal Fatigue is a big problem in the U.S. where an estimated 80% of American women, will suffer from adrenal fatigue at some point in their lives. Of these women, moms are the most vulnerable to such an attack.

Solutions abound including anti-anxiety prescriptions, sleeping pills, hormone replacement therapy, counseling, expensive vitamins and supplements. All have a value but perhaps the healthiest place to start is more hands-on and medication-off.

Therapy Massage - Acupressure: An alternative to treating for those suffering from Adrenal Fatigue Acupressure is a therapy massage technique in which fingers press key points on the surface of your skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body’s life force (called qi or chi) to aid healing and relaxation. (Acupuncture hits the same points as acupressure, but uses needles vs. touch.) Final word. How to maintain your gains.

You can expect to feel better – much better – in a reasonable period of time. You need to nurture the afterglow. After your treatment take the rest of the day off from your “busy-ness”, drink lots of water, refrain from drinking any alcohol and go to bed early with your journal, a calm inspirational read or loving partner. Sounds like a great prescription for life, eh? You should seriously consider this alternative if you suffer from Adrenal Fatigue.
