BURNOUT SYNDROME / OVERWORKING TREATMENT

  relaxation and revitalization of the central nervous system;

  treatment of the tisular and organic disorders;

  relaxation of the muscular system;

  treatment of the secondary affections;

  recovery of the physical and emotional balance of the body

Used to describe the symptoms of physical

and emotional overstrain, the term of burnout

syndrome refers especially to the consequences of 

overworking. If in the past it was the harsh working

conditions that overworked a person (overcrowded,

ill-ventilated and poorly-lit rooms; very low or veryhigh temperatures; rude tools and equipment, etc.,

nowadays it is too heavy an amount of activities

and responsibilities, prolonged working hours, less

time of rest, relaxation and recreation; less time

spent with family and friends, professional

demands exceeding the employee’s training, very

high standards of productivity and efficiency, etc.,

that does it.

One other aspect that must be taken into consideration is the personal perception of the

situations that we deal with on daily basis. A stress factor may be positive or negative. It is

our mind that gives these factors an emotional charge, matching information from the

environment with former experiences and with our present emotional state. Therefore, tasks

and events in our professional or private life may bear a positive charge for some people or a

negative one for others.

In time, professional pressure erodes the individual’s emotional and physical resources

and gives birth to:

  chronic fatigue, asthenia;

  nervousness, altered disposition, anxiety, depression; 

  emotional distress, apathy or indifference;

  depersonalization and deterioration of interrelationships, dependence on people

around;

  diminished self confidence; negative self appraisal and self criticism;

  poorer professional and personal performance;

  attention, concentration and memory disorders; also disorders of information

actualization;

  muscular and articular tension;

  headaches and cephalalgia;

  insomnia and sleep disorders;

  loss of apetite and digestive disorders;

  disorders of sexual dynamics.

It is believed from a medical point of view that, if prolonged, a state of professional

overstrain will trigger a number of specific reactions in the body. They damage the organic,

metabolic, immune and cardiovascular activity. Consequently, a good ground is created for

the onset of a number of more serious diseases.

In the traditional medicine, treatment of burnout syndrome is centered upon relaxation

and tension release of the central nervous system; reconstruction of the hypo oxygenated or

poorly vascularised cerebral areas; relieving the osteoarticular and muscular system of stress;

dealing with the tisular and the organic disorders; balancing metabolism and immunity;

improving concentration and memory; restoring the physical and emotional balance.

Acupuncture procedures and medicinal herb extracts tonify the thesaurus organs and

the cerebral areas, regulating their activity: lungs, to improve cell oxygenation; kidneys, to

revitalize the body; liver and spleen-pancreas, to purify and to detoxify the body, but also to

manage a better absorbtion of the food nutrients.

The physician-patient dialogue is centered upon the professional and personal

reevaluation; reorganization of the emotional and affective life and upon stress relieving.

Consequently, the intellectual and emotional resources will be reactivated and the patient will

get reintegrated into his professional and familial environment.

Depending on the particular features of each body under treatment, the treatment

protocols are individualized, so as to cope with all the necessities of a patient and so as to treat

all the associated diseases, which may be cardiovascular, digestive, of the spinal column or

ophthalmic.

Cardiac Diseases and Hypertension

Stress and physical and/or intellectual stress; anxiety and nervousness; career

discontentment accumulate a nervous tension with bad consequences upon the cardiovascular

system, especially upon artery tension. Hypertension is betrayed by profuse perspiration,

palpitation, tachycardia, headaches, fatigue, vertigoes, insomnia, tinnitus, pressure in the

temples and on the nape, blurred vision, numbness in the arms, etc. Should artery tension

show high values over a long period of time, and tension fits are also recorded, there is risk of 

myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, retina hemorrhages, or of other, more

complex, diseases (myocardial infarction).

Disorders of the Digestive Tube

Digestive disorders occur mainly because, in the absence of regular meal hours, foods

are quickly ingested; people eat foods with low nutritional value or fast foods. Excess of 

coffee, instant coffee, and fizzy juices upset the gastric balance. As symptoms, the following

can be mentioned: bloating, nausea, burning esophagus, pains of the xiphoid process, soft

stools or constipation, slow digestive transit.

Digestive discomfort upsets emotional processes. Therefore concentration and

memory are diminished and so are body’s resistance and endurance. Immunity is affected, too,

taking into account that a balanced intestinal flora helps maintain a strong immunity.

Unless the alimentary habits are corrected, there is threat of more serious diseases,

such as: gastro duodenal ulcer, gastritis, hepatic and pancreatic (pancreatitis) diseases, biliary

dyskinesia, biliary calculus, obesity, etc. 

Intestinal transit, hepatic and

pancreatic functions are restored with the help

of a diet with detoxifying and revitalizing

effects; also by stimulating the energy centers

that regulate the recovery of the intestinal flora;

also by administering medicinal herb products

with detoxifying, antispastic and cicatrizing

action; protective of the digestive tube;

antiseptic and antifungal action; regulatory of 

the intestinal transit; hepatic stimulatory and

protective; with cholagogic action (it helps

evacuating bile into duodenum).

Disorders of the Spinal Column

Scoliosis, kyphosis, inflammation of the vertebral discs, of ligaments, and

paravertebral muscles are pathologic manifestations caused by a bad body posture, which is

maintained for a long time during work.

Spinal column disorders must be treated without delay, especially because of the

negative impact they have upon the entire body. There are many nerve centers in the spinal

column. Therefore, any vertebral displacement will affect their activity and, consequently, the

activity of the innervated organs.

Cerebral circulation will also suffer (because of a damaged spinal column:

spondylosis, dischopathy): poor cerebral oxygenation, concentration and memory disorders,

vertigo, headaches, vision disorders, etc.

Treatment of the spinal column disorders involves acupuncture and osteoarticular

manipulation, but also medicinal herb products that optimize cerebral oxygenation by

stimulating blood circulation; they also fortify muscles by restoring muscle tone.

Ophthalmic Disorders

Work at computer for more than eight hours a day, without a break at every hour;

reading of official documents without a pause and working rooms without natural light or

poorly lit strain eye muscles.

The accumulated eye tension will travel to the optic nerves’ ramifications, posing the

threat of irreversible lesions. Vision grows poor because of overstrain, and an extra effort is

required to fulfill professional duties.

Eye tension will be restored, too, within physiological limits with the help of certain

medicinal herb extracts, which restore local metabolism, tonify and fortify eye muscles, but

also by acupuncture procedures with similar action. All these therapies will recover the

elasticity of the eye muscles and they will restore the circuit of ocular humors.

BIOENERGY, ENERGY MERIDIANS AND

AURA IN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

Trying to fight and deny the concept of 

bioenergy, many scientists have lost their

credibility when they proved themselves that

treatments by acupuncture, bioenergy and

herbal medicine  are perfectly viable;

moreover, they restore the functions of the

human body, curing the sick organs and even

different stages of cancer. Within the last 200years, science has validated the ancient truths

of  traditional medicine. 

STRESS RELIEF TREATMENT

Accordingly, metabolic rhythm and local

oxygenation rate are decreased - Lack of 

oxygen in the cerebral area leads to sleep

disorders or insomnias, agitation and

nervousness, depression, poorer intellectual

efficiency etc.

In our centre of  traditional medicine, the

specific acupuncture procedures and the

phytotherapeutical formulas employed

prevent and treat the harmful effects of stress,

assuring best health as well as an emotional

and affective balance that allows the patients

to perform their professional activity and their

social duties with increased efficiency.
