More Herbal Remedies To Treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
More Herbal Remedies To Treat Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. More and more people who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome are turning to alternative types of therapies and one of the simplest of these to try are herbal supplements.
It is always wise to seek the advice of your physician before you start herb shopping. As well take the time to do plenty of research online as well as to go to your local library and find as many books on herbs as you can.
Information is power and the more you are armed with, the better. Three of the most beneficial herbs to help prompt the immune system to kick into gear as well as to fight viral infections include Echinacea, goldenseal and finally licorice (or licorice root).
Echinacea is especially effective when a person has an infection as it helps to protect the bodys cells and helps to keep bacteria, viruses and pathogens that are trying to enter the body. Many studies have shown that Echinacea is often very successful at strengthening a weakened immune system as well as warding off the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and helps to bring relief to the patient.
The recommended dose of this herb is 15 to 20 drops dissolved in liquid and this should be taken three times a day for a period of two days. To get the required amount another appropriate dosage would be 300 to 325 milligrams three times a day.
Echinacea and goldenseal are sometimes sold together but as separate herbs, goldenseal is extremely effective when it comes to controlling a viral infection. People who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome need to do everything they can to avoid sickness as an infection, such as a respiratory problem or a stomach disorder can lead to an even more depleted level of energy.

When a person first senses that they are coming down with a sore throat they should consume a few drops of goldenseal but make sure that it is alcohol-free. Drop it into your mouth and hold it there for a moment before you go ahead and swallow it. Goldenseal is meant for specific health problem but is not meant to be taken on a consistent basis therefore never take it for more than one week at a time.
Pregnant or nursing women should avoid using the herb goldenseal, as should those who have a history of glaucoma, heart disease or diabetes. If a person who has diabetes or heart problems does decided to use this herb to improve their health, it should always be done under a doctors close supervision. Licorice (or licorice root) is not the same as the candy licorice and this distinction is important to make. The herb licorice root helps to support the proper functioning of the endocrine system.

Much like goldenseal, this herb is also potent and if used daily it should be taken no more than seven days at a time. Those with high blood pressure should stay away from it entirely.
