[함소아한의원 장재찬 원장] Soon after passing through the long heat, you will enter the ‘white heron’. White dew is the time when dew falls on the blades of grass and the energy of autumn is evident, and it is also the season when there is a temperature difference between morning and evening. After exhausting their stamina in the heatwave, more and more people are experiencing physical strain as they face the changing seasons. As there was little time to build daily immunity due to the corona for several years, the number of viral disease infections such as adenovirus, summer flu, and corona increased rapidly during group life, and fatigue was gained in the process of overcoming them. I live with the words ‘hard’ and ‘tired’ as a habit, but is chronic fatigue a symptom only seen in adults? , complains of headaches or stomachaches, and shows symptoms of anxiety for no reason. In addition, there are often cases in which appetite is reduced, and it seems that I sleep a lot, but I am tired. Chronic fatigue syndrome, which appears in adults, also appears in children. In oriental medicine, these symptoms are called ‘No Kwon Sang’.
The word ‘no rights’ itself means fatigue. Chronic fatigue syndrome refers to a general weakness accompanied by physical and mental symptoms due to severe fatigue. Usually unresolved fatigue lasts more than 6 months in adults and more than 4 weeks in children and boys. Although there are no abnormal findings on examination, functions such as emotional control such as anxiety and irritability, concentration, and other functions may be impaired, lymph glands may be enlarged, or muscle pain may be present. It is accompanied by symptoms such as a headache once in a while, not feeling refreshed after sleeping, and being extremely tired even after exercising for a short time. In oriental medicine, it is treated by dividing it into cardiac heojeung, non-heo-heo-depression, hepatic heo-heo, qi and blood weakness, and non-heo-seup-yeol.
In the case of children, the representative causes are heart failure and hepatic depression. First, cardiomyopathy is a symptom of weakness of the heart and spleen. Common symptoms include severe fatigue and pain in the neck, muscles, and joints after a little overexertion. In the case of children, they are inherently weak-minded, have fatigue and anorexia, and are often exposed to diseases such as frequent colds, so they are weak and often complain of growing pains. In this case, it is necessary to strengthen the weakened body while helping the energy of the heart and spleen. Strengthening the body also means boosting the immune system.
Second, hepatic depression is a symptom in which the spleen is weak and the liver qi is stagnant. The symptoms of hepatic depression are severe fatigue, headache, chest and side feeling proud and stuffy. Pain in the neck and sore muscles and joints after a little more activity are common symptoms. Irritability, irritability, and depression are also symptoms of hepatic depression. In the case of children, they are anxious, sensitive, and irritable, and have fatigue symptoms, anorexia, and complain of headaches. Therefore, while releasing the stagnant energy of the liver, it is necessary to help the energy of the spleen.
In oriental medicine, prescriptions such as ‘Bopaeyanghyeol-tang’, ‘Gongjindan’, and ‘Kyungokgo’ are mainly used to improve the chronic fatigue syndrome, No Kwon-sang, which boosts the weakened physical strength and helps the circulation of stagnant energy, boosts appetite and physical strength, and supplements immunity. to treat
At home, it is recommended to secure sleep time, avoid late-night meals, exercise lightly, and eat a simple constitutional diet. Fatigue and sleep are closely related. Make sure you have enough sleep time, such as going to bed an hour earlier than usual or taking a nap. Also, it is good to do slow walking exercise together as a family during a cool time. If you walk slowly for the first 20 minutes, trot for the middle 20 minutes, and walk slowly again for the last 20 minutes, it becomes an exercise for the whole family that helps the body’s circulation and increases basic physical strength without straining.
You can also get help by preparing a diet with a simple constitutional diet. It is cumbersome to prepare all the food according to the constitution, but eating the main grains and snacks of the meal as the food suitable for the constitution can help improve the symptoms of No Kwon Sang. Taeumin should eat sorghum rice, watermelon, melon, and pear, and Soyangin should eat barley rice, strawberries, and melon. Taeyangin prefers nonglutinous rice, brown rice, kiwi, peach, and cherry, while Soeumin prefers glutinous brown rice with tangerines, apples, and oranges.
In the case of growing children, chronic fatigue syndrome can lead to reduced immunity, sluggish growth, depression, tic disorders, and anxiety disorders, so active attention and health management at home are necessary.
