Fatigue can affect people in many different ways. From constant tiredness to waking up in the morning feeling flat and unrefreshed, fatigue can cause us to start on the back foot from the very first moment of the day.
Symptoms of fatigue can include:
- High or low blood pressure
- Sugar and salt cravings
- Weight changes
- Low energy and feeling ‘run down’
- Anxiety
- Sleep issues
- Waking unrefreshed from sleep
- Becoming more alert in the evenings and feeling ‘wired but tired’
- Dizziness
- A loss of joy and libido
- Brain fog
- Increased PMS or menstrual issues
As the adrenal glands play a significant role in essentially all bodily systems, the impact of leaving adrenal fatigue unaddressed can increase your risk of:
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Cardiovascular disease
- Insulin resistance and diabetes
Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat & Spa can help you reduce the symptoms of adrenal fatigue at our health and wellness retreat.
The Primary Cause of Adrenal Fatigue
Though nutritional deficiency and chemical toxicity are common causes for adrenal fatigue, often the leading cause is extreme stress, with the underlying cause of burnout being our lifestyles!
In order to really conquer adrenal fatigue, we’ll work with you to take a broader, holistic view of your condition and come to an understanding as to how this imbalance came to be in the first place. We can guide you towards making alterations to your lifestyle and diet as well as your thought patterns, and look beyond the symptoms of fatigue to get to the cause of the problem. We need to take a nourishing and restorative approach for real recovery. An immersive stay in a health and wellness resort like Sukhavati is the best antidote to a busy lifestyle, allowing the body to move to a deep state of rest for recovery.
How to Heal
As fatigue is typically caused by excessive stress and overactivity, in order to heal we need to counterbalance these with foods, lifestyle practices and healing herbs that offer nourishing, rejuvenating, grounding and stabilising qualities.
The following are essential to the restoration of adrenal function:
Cleansing with Panchakarma is the best approach to conquering fatigue. When you immerse yourself deep within our on-site program, you’ll soon discover the truly transformative methods in which we address the particular needs of your body and mind. The process gives you the essential space you require to really take the time to slow down and begin healing. Only when we find ourselves in that necessary deep state of rest and relaxation can the part of our body that enables us to heal really be activated.
Panchakarma, which is the combination of Yoga, meditation, body treatments, diet and herbal medicine delivered in one systematic process (all under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic doctor), enables the release of stress and tension as well as the root cause of the disease from the mind-body. In Ayurvedic terms, we are releasing Vata and building the essence of Ojas.
Switching off from stress is a crucial measure for trying to manage fatigue. It’s unrealistic to aim for a completely stress-free life, as we encounter potentially stressful situations on a daily basis. But we can arm ourselves with the necessary tools to appropriately perceive, cope and react to stress so we can reduce any damage to our mind-body.
The tools you acquire when you stay at Sukhavati can be easily transferred and applied to your daily routines, helping you to build resilience to stress and continue building energy and vitality.
Meditation is crucial for effective treatment of adrenal fatigue. The benefits of daily meditation are numerous:
- It powerfully calms down the nervous system
- It helps reduce built up tension in our physiology
- It releases mental toxins
- It activates the body’s self-healing processes
Thanks to daily meditation, we can exercise greater control of our minds, therefore no longer needing to concern ourselves with the trivial moments of worry or destructive emotions. We are better equipped to remain in a steadier state of mind, preventing the cascading release of damaging stress hormones. Over time, meditation literally re-wires the brain, helping us to build resilience to stress and change our initial reaction to non-life threatening events. If you are interested in learning to meditate or want more information about this, please contact us here.
Our Meditation course is a 4-Day Program (two hours per day) and can be taught at our head office in Melbourne, Australia or at Sukhavati, Bali during your program. The Ayurvedic Program does not include the cost of learning to meditate and to learn we recommend you discuss and organise this with our reservations officer, before checking in. If you would like to enquire about learning to meditate during your time at Sukhavati, please speak with one of our reservation officers today.
Breathing exercises have the ability to help restore balance to the state of our nervous system. If adrenal fatigue has left you feeling stressed and on edge, there is a strong chance that your breathing is very shallow and reminiscent of a typical ‘fight or flight’ response.
Techniques to improve relaxation with the use of breathing exercises can help to tilt your nervous system towards a state of calm. When you take part in our twice daily Yoga practice, we take a few minutes to simply focus on breathing in a steady, even way and introduce these ancient yogic breathing techniques into the sessions.
Yoga practice is excellent for aiding in the recovery from fatigue, alleviating stress and building vitality. The first paragraph in the classical Yoga text, the Yoga sutras of Patanjali, states ‘Yoga citta vritti nirodhah’. This translates to ‘Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind’. This refers to the endless mind chatter that leads to worry, anxiety and suffering. The purpose of Yoga is to curb the endless white noise that goes on in the mind, remove any negative or counterproductive emotions, and bring clarity, happiness and peace of mind to the fore.
Certain Yoga poses can improve the performance of specific endocrine organs, boosting nutrient and oxygen rich blood flow to the area to support its functioning.
We recommend following a diet that best matches your constitution / dosha (Ayurvedic mind-body type) as this promotes balance within your unique physiology. Unsure as to what your unique physiology is? Following a comprehensive appointment with our Ayurvedic Doctor, you will learn exactly what this is for your individual self.
The following key points are crucial for maximising recovery from fatigue. They also comprise part of our Rejuvenation Diet at Sukhavati:
- Avoid consumption of refined or processed sugars
- Avoid or reduce your intake of common allergens – nuts (peanuts), soy, dairy, wheat
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol
- Eat a whole food plant-based diet
- Eat Vitamin B and C-rich foods that nourish the adrenals – e.g. berries, citrus, whole grains, green leafy vegetables
- Increase your consumption of foods that build Ojas (energy) – ghee, almonds, dates, saffron
- Avoid processed food and foods with additives, chemicals and preservatives
You will find a vast range of herbs that intensely nourish the body, help maintain the endocrine system, and aid us in generating sustainable energy. Ayurvedic medicine has commonly used herbs for thousands of years, with their benefits now acknowledged by contemporary science and research.
Following your appointment with our Ayurvedic doctor, you’ll be prescribed a tailored supplement protocol that is unique to your specific needs.
