Working under prolonged stress can easily lead to the phenomenon of brain fatigue. What can be done to deal with brain fatigue? How can one determine if they are experiencing brain fatigue and how can it be relieved? Let's find out together!
Self-diagnostic methods for brain fatigue
In order to determine if one is suffering from brain fatigue, a traditional Chinese medicine approach can be used.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the first and second joints of our middle finger are connected to the brain. If there are any abnormalities in the brain, there will be obvious symptoms in these two areas.
We can use scraping therapy on these two positions. If using a scraping plate during the therapy results in a smooth and flat surface, it indicates a normal condition.
However, if there are uneven surfaces or a sense of pain, it is likely that there is a lack of oxygen in the brain, which is also a symptom of brain fatigue.
Treatment methods for brain fatigue
1. Moderate aerobic exercise
Sleeping is not the best way to alleviate fatigue. Instead, engaging in moderate aerobic exercises such as playing table tennis or doing light exercises can help. When the brain receives sufficient oxygen supply, fatigue naturally disappears.
2. Moderate brain exercises
Experts suggest that if there are mild symptoms of brain fatigue, there is no need to be overly anxious. It is important to balance work and rest. One can relax immediately by gently tapping the head with the fingers.
(1) The tapping force should be gentle, preferably without making any sound.
(2) Use the fingertips, not the palm, to tap the scalp gently. Avoid touching the hair for better effect.
(3) The duration should be three minutes.
3. Try drinking tea
Drinking tea is also an effective method to relieve fatigue because tea can help alleviate excessive tension in the central nervous system.
4. Get more sun exposure
In autumn, getting more sun exposure is a new and effective method for treating fatigue, as practiced in some foreign countries.
