The truth is that the mind and body are not more clearly visible than in the case of chronic fatigue. Temporary fatigue easily returns to a night of lost sleep, unusual physical work, etc. Chronic fatigue, however, is not simply a matter of physical effort and effort. How many people do you know who constantly complain about fatigue, even if the work of your day is not at all excessive? How many times did you feel tired at a time when you were less active than usual? The mind and body require activity and the attention to one without the exercise of the other can lead to the exhaustion of both. I have met few people who maintain a balanced daily schedule of mental and physical activity that suffers from chronic fatigue.
As in all other cases, fatigue was first treated in the sanatorium with a natural lifestyle program. Air, sun, water and earth can never be left out of a natural health program. Fatigue occurs more frequently in people who fall asleep. Those who wake up late are frequently victims of chronic fatigue. Workers and indoor livers complain of a constant lack of energy. And starchy diets tend to support this condition. The sanatorium's fatigue course eliminated all of these factors, with an emphasis on early bedding habits, both during retirement and when getting up. The lights of the sanatorium rarely burned beyond ten o'clock in the evening, and few slept beyond six o'clock. Balanced diets have been prescribed with special emphasis on nerve and energy foods for this condition, with higher consumption of vitamin B complex, iron and especially in hot climates, mineral salts.
Boredom was avoided like the plague. Patients were urged and helped to devote most of the day to the physical and mental activity that kept them in harmony. But such activities were always productive, not a meaningless movement for the movement. How much is it to do your drill, weed and crop a garden rather than bending your knees repeatedly and touching your feet. The movement towards creation is an underlying law of nature.
The natural program to relieve chronic fatigue also involves cold baths and affusions (6th) in the chest and back. Affusions have been shown to be particularly effective and have been used to relieve unused muscle pain, while increasing the activity of these muscles. The pads provided quick relief when applied each night to aching and tired parts of the body. The youth cocktail fountain was prescribed each day.
