I've had cold hands and feet for a couple years now, I've been taking herbs for a month and started to get a little warm, but then I don't take them and I don't get any warmth, what's the reason for that?
Like the questioner, I have been suffering from cold hands and feet for more than 10 years, but I have recently solved the problem by using Chinese medicine. Since the most important thing in Chinese medicine is to treat the right symptoms, I would like to share my experience with you here, and it would be a good deed if it is useful to the viewers.
I have had symptoms of cold hands and feet since I was in my thirties, and in the last year or two when I was nearly fifty years old it has gotten worse and worse, and even in the summer it is a case of not daring to shake hands with others. I am a family heirloom folk Chinese medicine practitioner, specializing in spinal medicinal wine external physical therapy, some cold hands and feet, spinal physical therapy after the disappearance of the symptoms, but for me there is no effect at all. Ancient formula says that cold hands and feet, kidney yang deficiency, the four reverse powder main, but according to my own symptoms are not suitable, so I have not been using this formula.
Recently, my main symptoms are, in addition to cold hands and feet, there is also a sense of panic, mainly manifested in the sleep of the dream alarm, sexual impatience. What is more prominent is that I would subconsciously step on the emergency brake when I meet a car at a bend in the road when I am driving, which was not the case before. One day when I was looking at the symptoms of the twelve meridians, I saw the symptoms of the bile meridian, and realized that the coldness of the gallbladder caused by the impassability of the gallbladder meridian would have the above symptoms. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that if the bile meridian is clear, there is no trace of disease. Liver is yin and gallbladder is yang, and the lack of bile meridian is also a sign of yang deficiency. I was enlightened and decided to start treatment from the bile meridian.
Due to the various limitations of folk medicine techniques in recent years, I had my daughter learn Chinese medicine in order to pass it on. When I discussed my thoughts with my daughter, I asked her to treat me with acupuncture. Only one time of acupuncture treatment, my hands and left foot will be no cold feeling, the right foot has a significant effect on the improvement, after two times of acupuncture, basically cured, dream fright disappears drive normal.
My acupuncture treatment takes the following points for your information only:
Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian: Rate Valley, Yangbai, Fengchi, Yanglingquan, Hangzhong, Qushu, Foot Linxiao, Foot Nuoyin.
The Heart Meridian of the Shao-Yin of the Hand: the Divine Gate.
Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian: Foot Sanli.
Through this personal experience, I have gained three deeper insights into Chinese medicine:
First, Chinese medicine is not a terminal disease, but to the right symptoms, the right time, the right method, many diseases can be immediate results.
Secondly, believe in Chinese medicine and meet a good doctor for a good cause.
Thirdly, do not seek medical advice in a hurry and do not take medicines that are not right for you.
I also have cold hands and feet for several years, Yang Yang tonic kidney medicine have not eaten a lot, once stopped or the same. In summer, I can't wear skirts and shorts, and in air-conditioned rooms, I have to wear knee pads underneath my long pants, and I can't sleep in air-conditioned rooms at night. At the beginning of this year, I checked my thyroid and kidney cysts, and I suspected that this was related to coldness, so I went to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, who told me that I had blood stasis and kidney qi deficiency, and I took Chinese medicine for more than a month, and I felt that the medicines for clearing up the meridians were the right ones for the problem, and the symptoms improved a little bit. I recently practiced eight brocade, at least once a day, and then move the ankle (clockwise counterclockwise rotation), there is a forty or fifty degree slope by the side of the road, stand for a while to pull the tendons, and then stand on tiptoe for a while, so that the symptoms have improved a lot, and now I can sleep in an air-conditioned room, air conditioning during the day and legs and feet are not so cold and painful, I hope that my method is helpful to you. The last thing to say is that people with cold body, summer, do not eat the fruits and vegetables put in the refrigerator.
This problem, a small set of deep feelings, I am a cold hands and feet 20 years of people, winter ice like, summer leaves like a fireplace, winter when the cold hands are bonkers hard, sleep at night to wear socks, or can not sleep. I don't know if you're the same as me.
I try a lot of ways, but I feel the most or adhere to the hot water daily foot soak, all year round, I will add a handful of mugwort leaves in the foot soak, but in the summer on the use of water soak your feet, because the summer itself on the fire wang, adhere to the 2 years down, and now a lot of good in winter, although not compared to others hot, at least a lot better than before themselves.
In fact, the cause of cold hands and feet, mainly due to the lack of qi and blood itself, the flow is not smooth, you eat traditional Chinese medicine to eat for a period of time to have an effect, because the medicine to enhance and nourish our body's qi and blood, but we can not eat all the time, once we do not eat, the medicine does not have the effect of the effects of the effect will be reduced, the feeling that there is no improvement, it is to be three times poisonous, so, I suggest that we still do it from the usual.
Daily: You can't underdress just because you're "beautiful", I always wrap myself up like a ball in winter and make sure my feet are warm and don't leak at the ankles.
Habits: develop a good habit of soaking feet, not every day to insist, at least 3-4 times a week to do soak your feet, soak your feet should not be too long 15-20 for the best, the water temperature of about 40 degrees can be. It is best to add some peppercorns or mugwort leaves, ginger and so on.
Eating habits: do not often eat raw cold, cold drinks, etc., try to avoid milk tea and other cold drinks. Usually did not insist on drinking ginger tea and the following several soup meals.
1, Chinese wolfberry ginger tea brown sugar is warm, sweet, into the spleen, has the benefit of qi and blood, spleen and stomach warming, blood circulation. Old ginger (ginger mother), pungent flavor, can tonify the blood and activate the blood. Specific method: prepare a piece of old ginger, 50 grams of wolfberry, 50 grams of brown sugar, 500 grams of water, wash the old ginger and wolfberry, all the materials into the pot on medium heat for about 15 minutes.
2, angelica ginger lamb soup
Specific method: 20 grams of angelica, 30 grams of ginger, rinsed, softened with water, sliced. Mutton 300 grams, washed and chopped. Angelica, ginger, mutton into the casserole, add water to the boiling fire after the foam, add wine, small fire stew until the mutton is cooked, and seasoning.
In the winter, you can also eat 2-3 months of Colla Corii Asini cake, replenish the blood, because the winter hidden, the most appropriate to supplement the absorption. I hope the small set of answers to the pro help oh!
Hello, I am glad to answer your question. According to the situation you mentioned, in fact, it is often encountered in the clinic, and after taking traditional Chinese medicine, a variety of reactions can occur, still worth everyone's attention.
First of all, a lot of women have cold hands and feet problem, and it will last for years, mainly because the meridians are not accessible, weak qi and blood, yin and yang are not adjusted, qi and blood can not be warmed and warmed to the endings of the limbs, then there will be cold hands and feet, cold feet and cold limbs, joints, cold pain, menstrual disorders and other symptoms.
In fact, the root of the problem is still related to physical weakness, Chinese medicine can be adjusted according to the individual physique, boiled some Chinese medicine, mainly have blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, drive away cold and remove dampness, warm menstruation and collaterals, and other efficacy.
If you want the medication to work, you must have the following.
The first thing that is needed is that the meridians of the body are smooth, the spleen is weak and the function of transportation and digestion is normal, the qi and blood are running normally, and the drugs can be fully utilized by the body before they can have a regulating effect.
Secondly, it takes a certain amount of time, usually we go to a Chinese medicine hospital or find an old Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe Chinese medicine for chronic conditioning, it is not possible to solve the problem in ten days or eight days, most of them take three months to six months.
Thirdly, if the body is particularly weak and the cold-dampness is too heavy, the deficiency evidence must be corrected so that the body's functions are in order, and if this cannot be done, the more medicine taken, the less it can be absorbed, the more it will still be discharged out of the body by one route or another.
I have come across several patients in the past two days, go to the Chinese medicine hospital prescribed Chinese medicine, one is to regulate the spleen and stomach, after a few days of taking the medicine, but instead began to appear the body itchy, in fact, is the result of the drug in the body is not sufficiently absorbed, can only be discharged through the pores of the skin, which will lead to allergic manifestations of the skin.
There is a woman, chin always long acne, take a week of Chinese medicine, the results of the back, scalp and other parts of the table out a lot of pimples, in fact, is the body is weak, the drug can not be properly absorbed, and the results presented.
So, just like you take Chinese medicine to adjust, a month's time, just temporary relief of the symptoms, but the root of the problem is still deep-rooted. To make a very graphic analogy, it is like a piece of ice in the body, through a variety of methods to melt a little bit, as long as you can melt off about one-third of the body will feel afraid of the cold improved, but if you stop at this time to adjust, because the body is still cold is still the main body, and slowly will lead to ice again more and more big, cold hands and feet began to appear again.
Therefore, no matter what method is used to regulate, one must adhere to the treatment and not give up halfway, and then again, the first thing is to ensure that the road is clear and the qi and blood are flowing smoothly, otherwise, if one takes more medicines, they will still be rejected by the body, so how can one talk about having an effect?
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), "Cold in the uterus is related to kidney deficiency, spleen qi deficiency, blood deficiency, liver depression, phlegm-dampness, dampness-heat, blood stasis and other causes."
Cold hands and feet are a very common symptom, especially for women. So what is the cause of cold hands and feet? What diseases does it conceal? As well as regular cold hands and feet how to adjust? What are the bad habits in daily life that we need to pay attention to.
Cold hands and feet are not a disease, but they are closely related to disease
Once the temperature drops, cold hands and feet are a norm for many people. This is when many people wonder if something is wrong with their body? Or is it just bad health? In fact, cold hands and feet also indicates the existence of certain hidden problems in the body:
I. Hypothyroidism
When the production of thyroid hormones is insufficient, the body's metabolism slows down and less heat is produced and consumed, resulting in cold hands and feet.
II. Anemia
Due to their own physiological reasons, women are very susceptible to anemia, anemia will be due to the body's low content of red blood cells and hemoglobin, can carry the function of oxygen will be reduced, resulting in limbs ischemia and hypoxia state, so the body temperature will be low, and the occurrence of chills fear of cold hands and feet cold situation.
III. Inadequate cardiac function
When there is cardiac insufficiency, the blood supply to the extremities will be abnormal, insufficient or reduced, which makes it easy to have cold hands and feet.
Don't be a "Frozen Beauty", just be a "Warm Baby".
As you can see, the occurrence of cold hands and feet can mostly be attributed to one thing, i.e. poor blood circulation in the body. Therefore, to improve the situation of cold hands and feet, you can start from the following aspects~
1. Hot compresses on the abdomen
Many young girls are happy to do "frozen beauty" ignoring the ability of the body to withstand, in the summer like to wear clothes that expose the abdomen, or in the winter to pull up the trouser leg, etc. These habits are particularly easy to let the cold attack the body, so pay attention to the body to keep warm. These clothing habits are particularly easy to let the cold invade the body, so pay attention to the body's warmth, when resting at home, you can use a warm warm water bag hot compress abdomen, so that the cold to eliminate, reduce the emergence of cold hands and feet.
2、 Hot water foot bath
Many people don't pay attention to the warmth of their legs and feet resulting in cold hands and feet. Only when the lower limbs are well warmed will the body warm up. For example, you can soak your feet at night before going to bed, so that the blood circulation of the body is accelerated, and it is naturally easier to fall asleep when your feet are warm.
3. Aerobic exercise
Strong body can resist not to be attacked by fine germs, you can do more aerobic exercise, such as jogging, jumping rope, swimming, etc., to accelerate blood circulation and metabolism, so that the body is warmed up, so that it will not be easy to cold hands and feet.
4. Foot massage
There is time for acupressure, often rubbing the heart of the feet, can improve the blood circulation of peripheral blood vessels, play the effect of warm hands and feet, is also can improve the symptoms of cold hands and feet.
5. Eat more food rich in vitamin E
Vitamin E is conducive to the expansion of peripheral blood vessels, promote the smooth circulation of peripheral blood, eat more foods rich in vitamin E nuts, spinach, corn, yams, lean meat and so on to improve the cold hands and feet.
What else do I need to be aware of in my daily life?
In our daily life, there are some habits that can cause cold hands and feet to a greater or lesser extent, and we should recognize their harm and correct them as soon as possible. In our daily life, we need to avoid what causes cold hands and feet behavior?
1. Sedentary
Sedentary people are prone to poor blood circulation leading to slowly cold hands and feet, so we should pay attention, sit for a long time to stand up and walk around, exercise.
2. Weight loss
Excessive picky eating and dieting are things that can cause abnormal calorie intake in the body, loss of qi and blood, and cold hands and feet.
In short, there are a variety of reasons for cold hands and feet, which is also related to our daily habits, as long as more conditioning, change the bad habits, your fall and winter will also warm up.
Cold hands and feet for several years, take herbs will be better, do not eat and no temperature, caused by perhaps the following reasons.
(1) Yang deficiency. It is the term used in Chinese medicine for yang deficiency, which includes spleen yang deficiency and kidney yang deficiency, among others. Yang deficiency usually occurs in adults over 40 years old and can occur in both men and women. Patients with yang deficiency like to drink hot tea and eat warm things, such as beef, lamb and chicken, and avoid cold foods, such as bitter melon and duck.
(2) Low blood pressure. If the blood pressure is lower than 90/60mmHg, it can be diagnosed as low blood pressure, which is related to heredity, disease, nutrition and physiology, and can be divided into two kinds: physiological and pathologic, as long as the physiology is strengthened with nutrition and regular life. If it is pathologic, go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and treat the symptoms.
(3) Qi and blood deficiency. Chinese medicine believes that cold hands and feet for a long time with the human body qi and blood deficiency. Chinese medicine theory says that "gas is the commander of blood, blood is the mother of gas. This sentence summarizes the relationship between "qi" and "blood", qi and blood are the basic substances that constitute the body's vital activities, qi is the commander of the blood, i.e., qi can generate blood, qi can travel blood, qi can take blood. "Blood is the mother of gas" means that blood is the carrier of gas, blood can be angry, both rooted in each other, interdependent. For people with cold hands and feet caused by qi and blood deficiency, replenishing qi and blood will have a better effect.
(4) Hypothyroidism. Due to hypothyroidism, patients with hypothyroidism synthesize and secrete less thyroxine, cold hands and feet for a long time is a major symptom, and some people have to wear long clothes and pants in summer and cannot use air conditioning. At present, there is no good treatment for hypothyroidism in Chinese and Western medicine. Western medicine treats supplemental eugenol, and Chinese medicine can change some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as cold hands and feet, through traditional Chinese medicine, which is also difficult to cure.
(5) Microcirculation disorders. Hands and feet are far away from the heart, microcirculation disorders are easy to cold hands and feet, this kind of people are generally the elderly, women, high blood fat, do not like sports people. For these types of patients, on the one hand, to strengthen the movement, on the other hand, eat more things conducive to blood circulation, such as astragalus, angelica, hawthorn, linseed oil, etc., pay attention to the hands and feet in winter to keep warm, hot water at night to soak the hands and feet, which will be conducive to microcirculation disorders to improve, to change the symptom of cold hands and feet.
The owner of the problem feel in life is still quite common, always around some people in the summer hand and foot temperature is low, winter cold and prickly.In fact, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, there are two types of conditions-physiognomy and yang deficiency.
Chinese medicine emphasizes the balance of yin and yang forThe human physique is categorized according to yin and yang into yang-prone, yin and yang-peaceful and yin-prone.There is a relationship between body mass and innate factors, not necessarily all pathological states.Individuals with a yin bias are characterized by a low body temperature, a fear of cold and a preference for heat, and a disposition that prefers to be quiet and less active.So the owner is very likely to belong to the yin quality, physical differences do not necessarily mean unhealthy. And constitution can also be changed according to the acquired living environment, medication, the owner can look at their own living environment is not heavy moisture, or whether long-term in the air-conditioned room.Physical reasons require long-term herbal treatment, and one month is not enough.
Furthermore from a pathological point of view, theChinese medicine believes that cold hands and feet are an outward sign of yang deficiencyThe Yang deficiency is a very large range of Chinese medicine on the human body five organs and six bowels have yin and yang points, Yang deficiency is a generalization, for specific individuals, will be specific to the internal organs, so you can not generalize, some people are renal Yang deficiency, some people are spleen Yang deficiency, these treatments for these treatments exist in the essence of the difference. Since the owner of the Chinese medicine has a role to play, then belong to the rational diagnosis and treatment, adhere to the treatment is able to cure. Chinese medicine is a chronic conditioning process, I hope the owner can have confidence and patience.
In addition to medication, attention is needed in daily life:
1.Strengthening exercise and physical fitness.Weakness is often accompanied by a loss of yang energy, and cold hands and feet are more prevalent.
2.Consistently soak your feet to enhance the circulation of blood turnover in the soles of your feet.Herbal foot bath packs are also a better choice for improving cold hands and feet.
3.Stay warm.Not only in the fall and winter, but also in the three volts to prevent air conditioning attacks need to be highly cautious.
4.Rejecting cool foods, especially the frozen diet category.
I hope you find the above points helpful.
The owner of this problem, I used to have, especially in winter, sleep always curled up legs sleep, stretching not straight, the family are afraid to sleep with me, because afraid of touching my cold body, especially feet, with the same as popsicle. In addition, in addition to feet, ears, fingers in winter frostbite, can be said to be very difficult to see a doctor, grabbed the Chinese medicine to eat, however, or no soft use, that time also often hear some terms, what the yang deficiency, yin deficiency and so on, at first on the Internet to find out, and then how to how to try to soak your feet, but also useless.
But in the end I was cured. How was I cured?
In the end, it is still soaking feet, but not only in the winter soak, but in the summer and fall when the hot water foot soak, 7 days a week, at least 5 times, the habit of adhering to the winter after 2017, my feet surprisingly not cold, and sleep with my legs stretched out, and a very important point, three volts of the day of the late remember not to drink cold water.
Anyway, I also often read the news to see other people write articles to try to do, friends if you think I say these credible, you can adhere to the next, whether you believe it or not, anyway, I am now not cold hands and feet.
I'm afraid that your Chinese medicine doctor is not powerful, my family as cold hands and feet, uterine cold for many years, just a prescription to take two weeks, it is good, and the fire is full, has been strong for eight years, until recently feel that the fire of the medicine went down. The remedy has deer antler and other valuable herbs.
