Are You Experiencing Summer Fatigue?


Are you struggling with symptoms like:

  • sluggishness

  • constant tiredness

  • loss of appetite

  • difficulty sleeping


The drastic temperature differences between air-conditioned rooms and the scorching outdoors, restless nights, and the excessive intake of cold foods and drinks can disrupt your autonomic nervous system.


As a result, digestive function weakens and a vague sense of malaise spreads throughout the body.

Why Acupuncture is Effective for Summer Fatigue


In traditional Eastern medicine, summer fatigue is described as a stagnation of Qi (energy), blood, and fluids, with particular emphasis on the weakening of the spleen and stomach (digestive function).


From a Western medical perspective, it often stems from:

  • imbalances in the autonomic nervous system

  • poor blood circulation

  • decreased organ function


One of the most important benefits of acupuncture is its ability to regulate the autonomic nervous system.


Recent studies show that stimulating specific acupuncture points can activate the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for relaxation), helping to reset both mind and body.


This is especially effective for patients suffering from digestive issues, insomnia, and chronic fatigue.

The Four Key Effects of Acupuncture for Summer Fatigue


Regulates the autonomic nervous system Shifts the body from a sympathetic (fight-or-flight) state to a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state.

Improves digestive function Helps relieve loss of appetite, indigestion, bloating, and diarrhea.

Promotes blood circulation & combats coldness Acupuncture and moxibustion improve circulation, easing cold hands and feet, swelling, and fatigue.

Improves sleep quality Encourages deep relaxation and better sleep onset while reducing nighttime awakenings.

Acupuncture: A Drug-Free Approach to Recovery


Do you ever feel:

  • “I feel unwell, but it’s not serious enough to see a doctor.”

  • “I want to recover naturally without relying on medication.”


If so, acupuncture - a gentle, drug-free therapy - may be the perfect solution.


By stimulating surface acupuncture points, treatment helps regulate both the autonomic nervous system and internal organ function, addressing summer fatigue at its root.


Building a body that can withstand the stress of summer heat starts with daily care. Acupuncture, supported by both Eastern wisdom and Western medical reasoning, is highly recommended for anyone dealing with seasonal discomfort.


I invite you to experience the power of acupuncture for yourself — and regain the energy and balance you need to enjoy summer fully.
