What's the deal with always having cold hands and feet in the fall and winter? Is it really the cold weather?

Hello, I'm Dr. Zhongguo, the barefoot doctor.

This condition involves the functions of yang qi, the spleen, and the kidneys. We now analyze a little bit. The functions of yang qi, a warming effect, two promote the role of the three fixed role, the role of the four qi, the role of the five defense, and so on.

The power source of the human body's vital activities is yang qi. That is to say, yang qi is like the outside world of electricity, if there is no electricity, think about it, home appliances can still do what? Therefore, the Neijing said, yang qi, if the sky and the sun, lost its place, then folded life and not manifest. It means that Yang Qi is like the sun in nature, if the sun is gone. Then everything will be ice age again.

Functions of the Spleen.

The spleen is the main transportation, transportation is divided into transportation of water and grain, transportation of water and moisture, the so-called transportation, is transportation, the spleen can be understood as the transportation. The so-called transportation is transportation, and the spleen can be interpreted as transportation. The so-called transformation is the transformation of pork into human flesh after eating pork. The spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the spleen is the source of phlegm and dampness. The spleen is the basis of the latter day.

The function of the kidneys.

There are many functions of the kidneys, I will simply say that the kidney is the main reproduction, the main bone bone marrow, the main collection of essence, the main collection, the main water, the main body of the organs of the yin and yang. The kidney is the foundation of the innate. Here it is understood that there is an excess of good things to be stored in the kidney. On the contrary when the organism is insufficient, it is necessary to take the corresponding energy from the kidneys.

The Spleen and Kidneys also function on the basis of sufficient Yang energy.

Man is iron, meal is steel, a meal does not eat hungry panic, you can know that the source of yang qi from the spleen to drink food digestion and absorption.

If there is sufficient yang qi and the spleen functions properly, dietary substances are transformed into qi and blood to supply all organs of the body. If the consumption of yang qi in a day is 100 yang qi and the yang qi gained from three meals a day is 130, the excess 30 yang qi will be stored in the kidneys. Therefore, it is said that the kidney is a water organ and receives the essence of the five viscera and six bowels and stores it.

On the contrary, if you usually lose too much yang, or eat too much cold, damage the spleen yang, so that the function of the spleen declines, the dietary material can not be completely transformed into qi and blood, supplying all organs of the body.

This creates a lot of waste, which is dampness. Since the Spleen's function of transporting and transforming water and dampness has also declined, this results in a large amount of dampness being stored.

If the consumption of yang qi in a day is 100 and the yang qi gained in three meals a day is 70, the remaining 30 yang qi that is still owed will be taken out in the kidneys. Such a long day will result in a deficiency of Yang Qi in the Spleen and Kidneys.

Because yang qi has a warming effect if the spleen and kidney yang qi are insufficient, then yang qi loses its warming effect, so it happens that the feet are always cold and never relieved.

You can use medication to tonify the kidneys and strengthen the spleen, and support the yang of the spleen and kidneys, then you can find a TCM doctor in your local area to treat you.

You can also try moxibustion yourself, such as moxibustion foot Sanli, Shenque, Guanyuan, Yongquan, kidney Yu, spleen Yu and other points.

But then it's time to pay more attention to the following points.

One pays more attention to the external cold and adds more clothes to protect against the cold. So as not to be attacked by external evil.

Second diet, light, don't eat some big fish and meat, don't eat cold food, don't take the temperature of the food to determine the cold properties of the food.

Three sunsets and early rest. Early rest means tonifying the kidneys. Go to bed around ten. Too late hurts your body.

Don't exercise strenuously after four dinners, walk slowly, and exercise in the morning when the sun rises.

I am Barefoot Doctor Zhongguo Chinese Medicine, follow me. Share the knowledge of health and wellness to you.

Hello, always cold hands and feet in the fall and winter, but not in the spring and summer, this in addition to the cold weather factors interfere, there may also be some subhealth phenomena of the body interference, such asA person if the qi and blood deficiency, in the fall and winter time will also appear cold hands and feet, and is persistent, even indoors or this phenomenon, and even when sleeping quilt cover thick, or difficult to prevent the emergence of cold hands and feet phenomenon.This situation may have to consider whether it is the body's blood qi insufficiency caused by oh!

A person's lack of blood qi, in addition to causing cold hands and feet, there are also these manifestations, you may refer to understand:


I. Manifestations of qi deficiency

These people are generally more afraid of cold, cold hands and feet, easy to sweat, easy to tinnitus, easy to palpitation, often dizziness, lack of energy, chest tightness and shortness of breath.


Second, the performance of blood deficiency

These people generally have yellowish or pale face, dry and rough skin, dry hair, yellow and split ends, severe hair loss, cracked nails, pale white nails, dry eyes, cloudy white glue, numbness in hands and feet, frequent insomnia, frequent forgetfulness, easy palpitations, lack of concentration, and trance.

This kind of people in general, in addition to the above phenomena, there will be tiredness and fatigue, dizziness, poor appetite, pale tongue, long spots on the face, nails with longitudinal lines, flat fingers, fingertips thin, night urination, sleep often snoring and other phenomena.

What's wrong with always having cold hands and feet in the fall and winter, is it because of the cold weather.

Cold hands and feet in the fall and winter seasons are caused by insufficient qi and blood. In addition, the body of the Yin cold type of people in the fall and winter season will also appear cold hands and feet phenomenon.

We know that human hands and feet are the end of the human body, and human body temperature is determined by the blood circulation of the human body, when a person's qi and blood is insufficient, the peripheral nerves of the human body will be due to the lack of blood leading to the peripheral nervous system of the blood circulation slows down so that the human body's blood can't bring enough heat to the part in time, which is when the hands and feet will be cold.

When the body's qi and blood are sufficient, the blood circulation of the body's nerve endings also appears normal. In this way, the heat of the normally circulating blood warms the peripheral nerves, and then the hands and feet will not be cold.

In addition, people with cold bodies not only have cold hands and feet, but also other parts of the body will appear cold phenomenon. Some of them even have the phenomenon of "cold limbs".

To treat this phenomenon, one should replenish Qi and Blood and treat it by tonifying the Spleen. The exact method depends on the specific situation.
