1. Fatigue
According to traditional Chinese medicine, fatigue is closely related to the imbalance of the five organs. For example, soreness and weakness in the waist and legs are related to the kidneys, shortness of breath and weakness are related to the lungs, lack of endurance is related to the liver, mental fatigue is related to the heart, and physical fatigue is related to the spleen.
