1. One Needle Can Equal 3 Miles
There is an acupuncture point just below the knee that's known as the 3-mile point. Inserting a needle in this point significantly increases your energy. In fact, the 3-mile point is so powerful at producing energy that you can sometimes feel a difference right away. In other cases where chronic fatigue syndrome is more severe and long standing, it may take several treatments of this point to notice results. The 3-mile point was given its name because, according to Chinese legend, exhausted soldiers who received acupuncture on this point were instantly able to walk 3 more miles.
2. Increase Blood for More Strength
In Chinese medicine, people who are chronically fatigued are often said to be suffering from blood deficiency. There's an acupuncture point that can correct this. It's called the three yin crossing, and it's located just above the ankle on your leg. Treating the three yin crossing point with acupuncture is said to increase the amount of blood in the body, which will reduce or eliminate fatigue.
3. Use the Big Hammer
The Big Hammer acupuncture point is also useful in treating chronic fatigue syndrome. This point is located on your back, just where the upper portion of your back meets your neck. It's used to dispel heat from the body, such as the low-grade fevers that are common in people with chronic fatigue syndrome. In fact, in Chinese medicine, an excess of heat in the body is believed to contribute to chronic fatigue syndrome.
4. Dispel Damp Heat With the Abundant Ridge
More so than just heat alone, damp heat is a culprit in the development of chronic fatigue syndrome, according to Chinese medicine. Getting rid of it can improve your symptoms significantly. To dispel damp heat, the abundant ridge point is used. This point is located just below the knee. Inserting needles there improves digestion and metabolism, allowing your body to burn up excess damp heat. You may feel results after just one treatment, or it may take several sessions over the course of weeks or months to eliminate your symptoms completely.
