Why Do You Feel Tired Even When You Haven’t Done Anything? An Acupuncturist’s Take

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Do you ever wake up already tired, even after a full night’s sleep? Or feel drained all day, even when you’ve barely moved? You’re not alone — and no, you’re not lazy either.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this type of fatigue is often caused by Qi stagnation — a blockage or weakness in your body’s energy flow.
It can also stem from Liver Qi imbalance, often triggered by emotional stress, overthinking, or sitting too long without mindful movement.

Real-Life Story :
One of our clients, R (38), constantly felt tired and unmotivated. After just 4 acupuncture sessions and a few lifestyle adjustments — including morning walks and breathing exercises — she began to feel lighter, more alert, and more “herself” again.

Simple Self-Care Tips :
Massage these two points daily :
👉 Zusanli (ST36) – located four fingers below your kneecap
👉 Sanyinjiao (SP6) – found about three fingers above the inner ankle

Walk at least 10 minutes every morning

Practice deep breathing: inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6 counts, repeat 5x/hour
