Abstract

Introduction: Fatigue is one of the most frequent complaints of dialysis patients and is associated with impaired health-related quality of life. The prevalence of fatigue ranges from 60% to 97% in patients with renal replacement therapy and 94% of hemodialysis patients endorsed a willingness to undergo more frequent dialysis if there would be an associated increase in energy level.

Purpose: To demonstrate that a patient with symptoms of fatigue during hemodialysis has chakras’ energies deficiencies and the replenishment of these energies is important to the treatment of this fatigue and the prevention of future events.

Method: In a case study, a 50-year-old woman with chronic renal insufficiency was performing hemodialysis 3 times per week. She was complaining about a severe fatigue symptom during and after each hemodialysis session. These fatigue symptoms were making her afraid to go to her next sessions. She began auricular acupuncture sessions associated with moxibustion and the doctor recommended that she perform a radiesthesia procedure to analyze the level of energy in each of her chakras’ energies.

Result: The result of this study was that the 50-year-old a woman was completely depleted in all her chakras’ energies with the exception of the seventh which was normal (a rating of eight). She began replenishing her chakras’ energies with highly diluted medications according to the theory Constitutional Homeopathy of Five Elements Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and crystal based medications. After one week of taking the medications and maintaining the auricular acupuncture treatment associating with moxibustion, the patient no longer experienced the fatigue symptoms again after each hemodialysis treatment.

Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that patients with chronic fatigue after hemodialysis sessions should be evaluated for their chakras’ energy levels. The replenishment of deficient chakras’ energies can be an important tool in the treatment of the fatigue conditions and the prevention of future fatigue events resulting from hemodialysis sessions.
