There are numerous causes at the root of this disruptive condition including stress, over work, lack of sleep, an inadequate diet, long term dieting and illnesses such as ME, Candida or anaemia. Just one or any combination of these factors can lead to a depletion of the body’s vital nutrients.

It may seem obvious but adequate rest and relaxation is most useful. However, if symptoms do not diminish after sufficient rest, individuals should seek the advice of their homeopathic practitioner or G.P.

The diet should contain ample fresh fruit and vegetables, together with regular protein (meat, fish or vegetarian alternatives) and carbohydrates (pasta, potatoes and rice) as these provide a stable energy supply. Avoid sugary foods and stimulants, such as tea, coffee and alcohol as these only provide a temporary source of energy.
