Why Acupuncture Works for Fatigue

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, chronic fatigue is often caused by imbalances in qi, spleen, heart, or kidney yang. Acupuncture improves energy circulation, supports immune function, and helps regulate emotional well-being – addressing both the physical and emotional roots of exhaustion.
