Abstract: Physical fatigue is a feeling of bodily lassitude, lack of strength, or general exhaustion, which may be accompanied by a decline in physical activity. There are many relevant expositions on physical fatigue in ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine, most of which believe that it is closely related to the liver, kidney, lung, and spleen.There are mainly four theories about the mechanism of physical fatigue in modern medicine, namely the theory of energy failure, the theory of blockage, the theory of protection and inhibition, and the theory of free radicals. Based on ancient TCM literature and modern theoretical understanding of pathophysiology, relevant research was conducted to explore the efficacy of the monarch, minister, adjuvant, and shi drugs in fetal chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea and the basis for their prescriptions. Fetal chrysanthemum wolfberry tea can not only embody the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the experience of doctors of past dynasties, but also embody the research results of modern pharmacology. Fetal chrysanthemum wolfberry tea is in line with the essence of syndrome differentiation in traditional Chinese medicine, and the prescriptions are based on sufficient basis, which is worthy of further study.
