Short term solution, buy massage chair. We bought one and I can almost swear that DH seems to have more energy nowadays. This is prob not scientific just what worked for DH and me.

Bubbles in heaven:

My method is to drink bei qi soup. Cook 3-4 sticks of beiqi 北芪, wolfberry, red dates with any meat about 300g for 2 hours. Drink one a week. You will not feel tired easily.


For 北芪, please buy good ones which costs about $9 a pack.

beiqi is chinese herb? sell in yao cai dian?

Maybe then it is something to do with him internally, maybe he should take
vitamins or exercise regularly? I heard exercise helps to increase energy. \"heard\"
because I have no personal experience, my own exercise is climbing stairs from lift to my house. :oops:

I read somewhere that unexplained fatigue could be due to eye strain or dry eyes. Does he stare at the computer screen very often? Maybe he needs to see an eye doc or try using artificial tears (eye drops) to see if it helps. Try taking DHA supplements - good for eyes, brain and cardio (heart).

There is a medical condition called chronic fatique symptom. TCM is especially good with this.


1. Does he feels cold easily? Does his feets and hands feel cold often? If this is so, it could be a symptom of Yang deficiency.

2. If not, is it the opposite? Does he feels hot easily? the palms feels above average heat than normal people. If this is the case, it may Ying deficiency.

3. If it is neither the above, it could be just qi deficiency of which if properly determined, can be treated with specific qi-deficiency medical formula such as Ba zhen tang, shi quan da bu tang (contain 北芪 also), etc…

But generally, symptoms due to deficiencies require longer term treatment with chinese herbs that address the root of the problem.
