Acupuncture for Fatigue and Burnout in Lewes
Tiredness is normal — but persistent fatigue is something else entirely. It’s more than needing a nap. It’s waking up tired, dragging yourself through the day, or feeling like your body just doesn’t recover the way it used to.
In Chinese medicine, fatigue is a signal that your system is depleted or blocked. It could be physical, emotional, or both — often it’s a mix. The focus of treatment is not to push through it, but to support your body to rebuild what’s been lost.
Acupuncture offers a steady, personalised way to help you regain energy without pressure or overwhelm.
How Chinese Medicine Understands Fatigue
Chinese medicine doesn’t isolate symptoms — it looks at patterns. Fatigue might come from overwork, grief, long-term stress, chronic illness, or recovery after an infection. It might be tied to digestion, sleep, hormones, or emotional health.
Rather than treating one part of you, acupuncture supports the whole system — helping energy circulate, tension release, and reserves rebuild. The goal is to understand why your body is struggling to recover and how to gently restore balance.
Support for Post-Viral Fatigue and Burnout
If you’re recovering from illness, struggling with burnout, or living with a long-term condition, treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Your sessions will be adapted to your capacity — the focus is on regulation, not stimulation.
Acupuncture helps move the system out of chronic stress and toward true rest and recovery.
What I Treat
At my Lewes clinic, I regularly work with people experiencing:
Long-term tiredness without a clear cause
Fatigue following COVID or other viral illness
Burnout from work, caregiving, or life strain
Fatigue linked to anxiety, low mood, or trauma
Chronic fatigue in the context of illness or hormonal changes
Whether your fatigue is mild or overwhelming, Chinese medicine offers a different way in — one that meets you where you are.
What Our Patients Say
I’m very grateful to Esaias for a wonderful summer reset treatment today. Esaias’ comprehensive knowledge of Chinese medicine is so helpful in explaining the causes of my problems and following the treatment I am already feeling lighter in my spirit and more balanced in my body. It is so refreshing to feel really heard and supported. I thoroughly recommend.
I have been coming for regular treatments with Esaias over the last year and I have noticed a significant difference in my health. I always look forward to my visits as he is such a warm and gentle person and an excellent acupuncturist. I leave feeling totally relaxed and peaceful for the whole day.
What Treatment Looks Like
We start with a detailed consultation. I’ll ask about your energy levels, sleep, digestion, emotional state, stress, and health history. This helps me build a picture of your overall system — and where support is needed.
Treatment may include:
Gentle acupuncture to support circulation and calm the nervous system
Chinese medical massage (Tui Na) or moxibustion (heat therapy)
Breathing or Qigong-based movement
Practical food and lifestyle guidance
Many people find that even the first few treatments help them feel more grounded and clear-headed — and that improvement builds with consistency.
