The appropriate homeopathic treatment for CFS depends on the individual's constitutional type. A constitutional type is defined as a person's physical, emotional, and psychological makeup. An experienced homeopath assesses all of these factors when determining the most appropriate remedy for each individual. Some remedies commonly used by professional homeopaths to treat CFS include:

• Arsenicum -- for restlessness and fatigue accompanied by chills and burning pains that are worse at night

• Gelsemium -- for mental exhaustion, including drowsiness and indifference, and physical weakness, such as heaviness of the limbs and eyelids

• Pulsatilla -- for people who are moody and emotional, although usually with a calm and gentle disposition

• Sulphur -- for people who feel fatigue and tend to be lazy and unproductive; usually not as emotionally sensitive as those requiring Pulsatilla
