The symptoms of asthenia are a feeling of weakness and a general lack of vitality that make it difficult to work and even perform simple tasks. The most efficient treatment is prevention, and phytotherapy may help us here.
This
physical and intellectual fatigue does not occur after making great efforts, but
in the absence of habitual effort, and barely improves with rest.

spring and is known as Spring Asthenia. It affects mainly women
between the ages of 20 and 50, and despite its high incidence, it is a mild
disorder that disappears after a few days. This phenomenon is due to a
bad adaptation of the body to environmental changes during this stage: light,
temperature, humidity, etc. The symptoms will disappear as soon as your body is
can modify its biological rhythm and adapt to the new situation.

bed.

distribute your diet into five meals.
