When it is cold, I feel cold all over, especially my hands and feet. This situation is the manifestation of "kidney yang deficiency" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is also commonly known as "cold bottom" or "cold bottom". Therefore, cold hands and feet must first treat kidney yang deficiency and fundamentally regulate it.
1, yang deficiency, chills and cold limbs. If you are always shivering at room temperature, don't bite the bullet and say you are healthy. A healthy person will not have cold hands and feet in spring, summer, autumn and winter, nor will he be afraid of the cold anytime and anywhere. If you shout cold if you show a little arm, you must remember to keep warm!
2, yang is the foundation of life, supporting and tonifying yang is not relaxed, liver yang deficiency is declining, indifference and hypochondriac pain are not negotiable; Heart yang deficiency is weak, and heart failure is difficult to protect; Regulate kidney-yang deficiency, and do it when it is time to do it. Taking licorice and ginger decoction will increase the yang in the lungs to spleen deficiency and cold syndrome, and abdominal pain will not stop.
3. Body cold caused by a certain disease. The cold hands and feet caused need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.
If your hands and feet are cold in autumn and winter all the year round, it is recommended to drink more warm tea with nourishing Chinese medicine to regulate your hands and feet. For those with deficiency-cold constitution, it is suggested to eat less cold drinks and raw and cold food in summer, and eat more warm food.
Cold hands and feet have a lot to do with the blood vessels of the heart, because blood is sent by the heart and brings oxygen to all parts of the body. When sugar is oxidized, it can generate heat energy, which will warm hands and feet. Once the function of cardiovascular system is damaged, it will affect the delivery of blood, causing cold hands and feet.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, hands and feet are prone to chills and numbness, mostly because of insufficient blood, because of poor blood circulation and insufficient blood volume, so it is necessary to replenish blood.
Common causes
Too thin a girl.
Girls with thin constitution and deficiency-cold constitution are most likely to have cold hands and feet, because the peripheral blood circulation of such people is poor, which is easy to disorder the thermoregulation mechanism. Cold hands and feet are caused by poor regulation of autonomic nerve function and thinning of blood vessels. Moreover, toes, knees, shoulders and fingers belong to joint areas with more exercise, because there are relatively few fat and blood vessels, and heat is easily lost.
When blood sugar is too low or blood pressure is too low
Food is an important source of body heat. Too much weight loss, too hungry, and too low blood sugar will make your hands and feet cold. When blood pressure is low, blood circulation will be poor. When you are tired and weak, your blood pressure will drop easily and your hands and feet will be cold.
When the pressure is too high
Your hands and feet will be cold and trembling because of stressful work pressure or time pressure. As long as you get through this tense period, you will gradually return to warmth.
The clothes are not warm enough.
If your hands and feet are cold, there is something wrong with the average temperature adjustment. If you have put on more clothes, but your hands and feet haven't recovered to the degree of warmth, you should pay attention, because many people's body surface temperature-sensitive nerve receptors react too slowly to feel cold.
Cold weather or long stay in an air-conditioned room.
Will reduce blood flow, slow down blood flow, cold hands and feet.
Autonomic nerve dysfunction
Autonomic nerve dysfunction caused by kidney deficiency, cold hands and feet.
hypothyroidism
Due to the decrease of basal metabolic rate, the patient's body heat production is obviously reduced, and even if he wears more clothes in cold winter, his hands and feet are always cold.

Countermeasures for girls to be too thin.
Girls with thin constitution and cold constitution should pay more attention to warm-up and improve their cold constitution.

Be diligent in sports. Be diligent in cutting.
I suggest you get up early in the morning to exercise. Walking is the best choice. Take a big step forward at a speed faster than walking and slower than running. Throw your hands and walk for 30 minutes to promote blood circulation. Your whole body will be warm, because blood circulation and metabolism will be accelerated in the early morning, so you will be full of energy all day and not easy to catch a cold.
You can also try simply climbing stairs, jumping in place, and exercising for 20 minutes until you sweat a little, which will help strengthen your thermoregulation ability. After 40 minutes of work, it is best to stand up, walk, step on, and move your fingers and toes from time to time, which will help blood circulation.
Eat more vitamin e.
Vitamin E can dilate peripheral blood vessels, which is very helpful for smooth peripheral blood circulation. However, the effect of vitamin E is relatively slow, and it takes 3 months to take effect. Taking 2 10-250IU every day is enough.
Eat nicotinic acid
Nicotinic acid is very helpful to stabilize the nervous system and circulatory system, and can also improve nervous tension, tension diarrhea and dermatitis. It can also dilate peripheral blood vessels and improve cold hands and feet. If you take it in large quantities, it will make your face red and hot.
Where is tips 1- nicotinic acid?
Nicotinic acid is abundant in animal liver, eggs, milk, cheese, brown rice, whole wheat products, sesame, mushrooms, peanuts, mung beans and coffee.
Tip 2-Vitamin B helps to synthesize nicotinic acid.
Vitamins B 1, B2 and B6 can help the synthesis of nicotinic acid. In order to promote peripheral vasodilation, 30-60 mg of vitamin B can be supplemented every day.
Eat nuts and carrots
You can warm your body through daily food supplements, such as nuts such as walnuts, sesame seeds and pine nuts. Vegetables such as leeks, carrots, kale, spinach, etc. ; Fruits, such as apricots, peaches and papayas, are the best choice for diet. Others such as beef and mutton, seafood, four gods, glutinous rice, brown rice, soybeans, tofu, sesame seeds and brown sugar are all warm foods, so people with cold hands and feet should eat more.
What needs special reminder is that people who are prone to cold hands and feet should avoid eating cold food, ice products or drinking cold drinks all year round.
Eat spicy food
Pepper, pepper, mustard, garlic, shallots, curry and other spices can promote blood circulation. When using the usual diet, you should eat it together, such as adding Chili sauce when eating fried noodles and fried rice noodles. Add more pepper when drinking soup; When you eat jiaozi, you eat a lot of spices with a bowl of hot and sour soup.
Always eat warm food.
Such as ginseng tea, ginger duck, longan tea, black sesame, glutinous rice balls and so on. Eating in winter not only keeps the body warm, but also can gradually strengthen the body, and the hands and feet can no longer be cold.
There are many drugs in Chinese medicine that can improve and prevent cold hands and feet, such as ginseng, codonopsis pilosula, angelica, salvia miltiorrhiza, northern cape, velvet antler, rabbit silk, Morinda officinalis, cassia twig, cistanche deserticola, curculigo, cassia twig, ephedra, dried ginger, pepper, nutmeg, Alpinia katsumadai and so on.

Not too hungry
Don't be partial to food and lose weight excessively. Let your body store some fat in moderation, which can help maintain body temperature. If you know in advance that you are busy with work today and can't eat on time, you can prepare some biscuits, bread or ginseng tea to replenish calories in time.
physical rehabilitation
thermal insulation
Don't wear warm clothes less because you love beauty or are afraid of being laughed at for wearing too much. All kinds of warm-keeping measures, such as coats, wool hats, gloves, scarves, masks, sanitary clothes, socks, etc., should be fully worn in cold weather. Before you take off your coat, you must make sure that it is getting hot. Don't take off warm clothes immediately because of mental irritability, nervousness, hot flashes, or fever after activities.
Don't wear too tight clothes either, because too tight clothes will hinder blood circulation. Before going to bed at night, remember to put on warm wool socks to help your feet keep out the cold. It should be noted that if your feet lose temperature, it is not easy to fall asleep.
oil groove
When you are free, you can take more baths and add ginger or chamomile, basil, cinnamon, rosemary and other essential oils and pepper bath agents. Hot water can promote blood circulation and warm your body.
When taking a bath, you can alternately shower your hands and feet with cold water and hot water, and achieve the purpose of dredging blood through the expansion and contraction of blood vessels from cold to hot. Soaking hands and feet with hot water before going to bed can also promote peripheral blood circulation and help you fall asleep. Don't forget to dry your feet with a towel immediately after soaking, and put on warm socks quickly.
Super hand and foot soaking agent:
If your hands and feet are really cold, just hot water can't satisfy you. I suggest you find a bottled hot water+rice wine+ginger, and the ratio of hot water to rice wine is 1: 1. Watching TV or taking a dip during a break is very effective.
Point massage
Chinese medicine suggests that daily massage can relieve the symptoms of cold hands and feet and chills all over the body.
The name yangchi means to accumulate the heat of the sun. Yangchi point is located on the wrist of the back of the hand, just where the bones gather. The way to find it is to tilt the back of your hand upward first, and several wrinkles will appear on your wrist. When you press the wrinkles near the back of your hand, you will find a tender point in the center, which is Yangchi point. Yangchi point is an important point that dominates the whole body blood circulation and hormone secretion. As long as you stimulate this acupoint, you can quickly smooth blood circulation and regulate your body.
Stimulating Yang Chi Point should be done slowly, long and slowly. It is best to use both hands. Press the Yangchi point of one hand with the middle finger of the other hand first, and then press the Yangchi point of this hand with the middle finger of the other hand. This posture can naturally transfer strength from the middle finger to Yangchi point without the help of others. Women with cold hands and feet generally don't have to worry about the coming of winter as long as they insist on stimulating Yangchi point.
If you feel cold all over.
You can massage Hegu point on the inside of the thumb, Neiguan point 3-5cm on the inside of the wrist, and Zusanli point 6-8cm below the knee.
Acupoint therapy
To be a woman's enemy, you still have to be "cold-footed." It is said that one in every two women is a victim of this disease.
Some even suffer from insomnia because of cold hands and feet. Many women can't live without thick underwear or socks even in summer, which is easy to cause irregular menstruation or physical pain, and sometimes becomes the cause of infertility.
Cold hands and feet are caused by hypotension or anemia. But the most common disorder is autonomic nervous system, so cold hands and feet are the best in acupoint therapy which is good at regulating autonomic nerves.
Acupoint therapy and stimulation method
Taixi point is extremely effective in treating cold hands and feet. Friends who are troubled by this disease, please be sure to stimulate this acupoint before going to bed. Under repeated stimulation every day, you will unconsciously forget that your hands and feet are cold.
Taixi point is next to the inside of ankle. From the center of medial ankle to the dorsum of toe, there is a big depression between medial ankle and achilles tendon. In the middle of this depression, the point where the artery can be felt is Taixi point.
Indirect moxibustion and linear incense moxibustion can be used to stimulate Taixi point, both of which have curative effects. Or massage carefully to stimulate, the effect is also good.
You can stick rice grains on this acupoint during the day, which can maintain the curative effect of the acupoint for a long time. It would be better if we could use Erxiu, Yongquan and Sanyinjiao points at the same time.
Interdigital point of hand
Introduce another effective special point for cold hands and feet. This acupoint is located between the index finger and the little finger, at the bifurcation of each finger, slightly close to the back of the hand.
When stimulating the interphalangeal point, gently press the finger fork with your fingertips. If you rub your fingers so hard for a minute or two, your cold hands will become warm. This point has the power to drive away the cold hands and feet.
Seven unique tricks
If it is caused by a disease, it is natural to treat the disease first. For cold hands and feet caused by non-disease reasons, we should start from all aspects of daily life and quickly start exercise, diet, medicated diet, bathing and massage ... Naturally, our limbs will be warm and our faces will be rosy.
thermal insulation
Beautiful "frozen" people are not allowed. Pay special attention to keep your legs and feet warm. If the lower limbs are well kept warm, the whole body will feel warm. Don't wear too tight clothes, because too tight clothes will hinder blood circulation. Remember to soak your feet before going to bed at night. It is easier to fall asleep when your feet are hot.
sports
Getting up early in the morning to do exercise can speed up blood circulation and metabolism, and you will be full of energy all day and not be prone to chills. Simple climbing stairs and jumping in place are helpful to strengthen the ability of thermoregulation.
prescribe a diet
Supplement more vitamin e; Eating more foods containing nicotinic acid and B vitamins can dilate peripheral blood vessels; Eat more isothermal foods such as nuts and carrots, and avoid eating cold food, ice products or drinking cold drinks; Eating spicy food such as pepper and mustard can promote blood circulation.
Eat traditional Chinese Medicine

People with cold hands and feet should pay attention to the following points:
1, keep a good habit of work and rest, and try to avoid staying up late.
