Overwork & Overwhelm in Traditional Chinese Medicine: How It Shows Up in the Body and Clinic

Feeling Overworked or Overwhelmed? Here’s How TCM Sees It

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, working too hard or feeling constantly overwhelmed can drain your body’s vital energy (Qi), leading to symptoms like fatigue, poor sleep, digestive issues, mood swings, and frequent illness. TCM practitioners see these as signs of imbalance in your energy systems -often involving the Liver, Spleen, Heart, and Kidneys. Treatment focuses on restoring balance and supporting your body’s natural energy with acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle changes. If you’re feeling the effects of overwork, TCM can help you get back to balance and vitality.
