Sometimes the stress of life just gets to be too much and a person starts to feel “burned-out.” This shows the subconscious association of fire with passion, excitement and motivation. This same association exists in Chinese medicine. When a person becomes deficient in fire energy, they become tired and nervous, feel overwhelmed, vulnerable and “broken hearted” and lose sexual desire.

Nervous Fatigue Formula is a Chinese herbal formula that nourishes this deficient fire energy. It is a tonic for the heart, nerves and glands, particularly the adrenal glands, which become exhausted under constant stress. A key indication that a person could benefit from this blend is a fatigue during the day coupled with disturbed and restless sleep patterns at night. Disturbing dreams are often an early warning sign that one is approaching “burnout.” As the problem becomes more severe, a person wakes up frequently at night or suffers from night sweats.

This state of chronic stress may also involve sensations of pressure or pain on the left side of the chest, loss of sexual desire, nervous exhaustion, trembling, and burning sensations in the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet or over the heart area. The fire-weakened person has muddled thoughts, mental confusion, hypersensitive emotions and a loss of short-term memory. Frequently, the person suffering from this burnout has dark circles under their eyes and a quivering tongue.

Nervous Fatigue Formula helps to improve mental functions, strengthen the adrenals, increase circulation, improve digestion and reduce the body’s response to stress. Other conditions it may help include frequent urination, scanty menstruation, constipation, excessive perspiration, heart disease, leg pain, impotence and diabetes.

For those who are “burned-out” and need to strengthen the heart, nerves and glands take 3-4 capsules of Nervous Fatigue Formula three times daily with meals. It is also available in a TCM concentrate where the dose is 1 capsule two to three times daily. It can also be taken when a person wakes up at night and can’t seem to go back to sleep.
