In winter, many people cold hands and feet, in addition to wearing warm, holding a hot water bottle, there are other ways to warm hands and feet? There really is!

When it comes to cold feet, Ms. Lu, 35, always brings up one thing. "In primary school, my classmates put the gloves to cover the heat for me to wear, the results of my hands did not wear the heat, but I wear the gloves cold.

Since childhood, every autumn wind together, others also exposed arms and legs, lu lady has begun to cool hands and feet. In winter, a hot water bottle will warm your hands but not your feet. Every year she gets chilblains because her hands and feet are cold.

Other people's advice is to put on more clothes and not get cold. Ms. Lu can only say weakly: wearing more is useless. Why is that? Because more wear body will sweat, hands and feet are still cold; Put on the velvet shoes, velvet wet, feet or ice.

Although there is a lot of heating these days, Ms. Lu envies those who keep their hands and feet warm in winter.

Cold hands and feet, for different reasons

According to wang zimin, deputy chief physician of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine at taizhou central hospital, TCM believes that cold hands and feet are caused by Yang deficiency or blood stasis. The hands and feet that different reason brings about is cold, the way that recuperate is different.

Cold hands and feet of the people, the first to judge their own constitution.

"Blood stasis constitution of the people, only for the cold hands and feet; Yang deficiency physique, in addition to cold hands and feet, but also particularly afraid of the cold, especially in winter, clothes often wear a lot thicker than ordinary people. It is the easiest way to distinguish blood stasis from Yang deficiency, he said. Ms. Lu, for example, had blood stasis, a condition characterized by poor circulation of the extremities and an inability to transfer sufficient heat to the hands and feet, according to her initial diagnosis.

Many patients to outpatient consultation, why eat a lot of warm medicine, hands and feet or cold? Wang zhimin explained, that is because the patient to the physique judgment is wrong, the warm tonic medicine to the blood stasis physique ineffective, only suits the Yang deficiency physique person. The blood stasis constitution is more suitable is through the movement, promotes the qi and blood circulation, impels the blood to move in the whole body, the meridian viscera qi and blood harmonize, the hands and feet temperature naturally came up.

Cold hands and feet regardless of age, but in different age of people, the reason will be different. For example, in young people, stress and bad living habits can lead to blood stasis. And old person's hands and feet is cool, because heart function is bad more, or kidney function is bad.

Because it's important to have adequate blood flow to keep any part of the body at normal temperature, if the heart is weak, you can't get blood to the hands and feet, which are further away from the heart, so it's easier to get colder than the rest of the body.

Cold hands and feet: foot and foot massage

No matter what kind of constitution what reason, have a kind of the most direct method to be able to let hand and foot warm rise, that is bubble foot.

Before going to bed in the evening, soak your feet in hot water, or add wormwood leaves, suberect spatholensis, angelica, motherwort and other traditional Chinese medicines to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, making your whole body warm. For people with poor peripheral circulation and poor knee joints, the effect of foot soaking is better than oral medication.

Wang zhimin reminded the feet to control the water temperature, so as not to burn; Stop soaking the feet when there is a cut on the feet; If diabetic patients have peripheral neuropathy, they will lose the sense of water temperature, and once burned, it is difficult to heal, so the family should pay extra attention to help the patient adjust the water temperature.

In addition to soaking your feet, a foot massage can also help warm up your hands and feet.

"Many meridians of the human body are gathered in the foot, which is closely related to the internal organs, tissues and organs of the body. The foot acupoints such as yongquan acupoint or the reflection area of all organs for point-pressure massage, helps tonify kidney and Yang, strong muscle and bone, long-term adhere to help alleviate cold hands and feet, lower limbs afraid of cold. He said.

Body modification farewell ice hands and feet

Bubble feet to improve the appearance, one day no time bubble, the cool still cool. Is there a way to fundamentally change, let the body automatically adjust the hands and feet to warm in winter and cool in summer?

There are ways, Mr. Wang said.

According to the state of the human body, TCM divides the human body into nine constitutions, namely, mild constitution, Yang deficiency constitution, Yin deficiency constitution, phlegm-dampness constitution, dampness and heat constitution, blood stasis constitution, qi deficiency constitution, qi stagnation constitution and special constitution.

People with blood stasis constitution, the skin lack of color, prone to ecchymosis, dull lips, obvious expansion of the sublingual vein; Easy to trouble, forgetful; Not resistant to cold pathogenic factors, easy to suffer from pain, such as blood.

Yang deficiency physical person, muscle soft unreal, fear cold afraid cold, depressed spirit, tongue light fat tender; Like static, introverted, have depressive tendency; Resistant to summer and winter, susceptible to dampness, prone to sputum, swelling, diarrhea and other diseases.

But there is one kind of constitution that is "perfect" -- a calm constitution. This is the best a person can present: qi and blood harmony, the color of skin moist, energetic, cold and heat tolerance; Strong ability to adapt to the environment, usually less sick.

A healthy person, his constitution is in a state of peace, when the lifestyle is not healthy, the constitution will slowly biased, the human body feels some uncomfortable, physical examination is not abnormal, this state belongs to sub-health, can be through conditioning and lifestyle adjustment to change the constitution. When the body from Yang deficiency or blood stasis adjustment to peace, the cold hands and feet naturally disappeared.
