1. Cold hands and feet are generally believed to be caused by kidney deficiency, and it is particularly focused on kidney yang deficiency.

Because "the kidney is the mother of the five organs", the kidney qi is weak, and the functions of the five organs and the spleen and stomach are reduced, and its warming, pushing, transpiration, and gasification functions are reduced, resulting in qi deficiency and blood deficiency, which leads to blood circulation, insufficient blood volume, and cold hands and feet.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold hands and feet is a kind of "closed disease", the so-called "closed" is impassable, affected by factors such as cold weather or cold body, resulting in cold liver veins, and the hematopoietic function of the liver is affected, resulting in insufficient yang qi in the kidneys, cold limbs, red or white hands and feet, and even painful feelings.

3 Traditional medicine believes that qi deficiency and blood deficiency will cause poor blood flow and insufficient blood volume, resulting in cold hands and feet throughout the year.

1. When the weather is cold, the body's blood vessels constrict and blood return ability will be weakened, which makes the blood circulation of the hands and feet, especially the fingertips, poor, which is often called "poor circulation of nerve endings", resulting in the hands and feet always feeling cold.

2. Anemia: insufficient circulating blood volume or low heme and red blood cells, and often cold hands and feet.

3. People with weak heart can not make the blood ** to the ends of the body, and their hands and feet will be cold.

4. If the hands and feet are cold, it means that there is a problem with the average allocation of body temperature, if you have worn several more clothes, but the hands and feet have not regained warmth, you should pay attention, because many people's body surface temperature nerves accept the body's cool spots, because they are too dull to feel cold.

5 Women account for the vast majority of people with cold hands and feet. This is a hormonal change that triggers cold symptoms by affecting the nervous system, causing subcutaneous vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow.

If you are exposed to cold, or if your constitution is weak, or even if your mood changes, your hands and feet will be cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and spleen deficiency causes qi and blood to flow abnormally, resulting in poor blood circulation in the body's peripheral areas and poor cold resistance.

6. Girls with thinner body and cold constitution are most likely to have cold hands and feet, because this type of person has poor peripheral blood circulation, which is easy to disturb the mechanism of body temperature regulation, and cold hands and feet are caused by the poor regulation of autonomic nervous system function and the thinning of blood vessels. In addition, the toes, knees, shoulders and fingers belong to the joint areas with more exercise, because there are relatively few fat and blood vessels, and the heat is easy to lose.

Food is a very important calorie for the body**, if you** are overly hungry, and your blood sugar is too low, you will have cold hands and feet. When blood pressure is low, blood circulation is poor, and when fatigue and physical weakness are low, blood pressure tends to drop, and hands and feet are cold.

Because the pressure of work or the pressure of time will make your hands and feet shiver, as long as you pass this tense period, you will slowly regain your warmth.

Patients with hypothyroidism have a significant decrease in body heat production due to a decrease in basal metabolic rate, and their hands and feet are always cold in the cold winter, no matter how much clothing they wear.

7 Generally speaking, cold hands and feet reflect poor flow of qi and blood, or weakness of qi and blood. It may be a cold constitution or a weak constitution, you can supplement some warm and hot foods, such as brown sugar, ginger, red dates, etc., or it may be more sentimental, causing liver qi discomfort, the liver is the part that runs qi and blood, affecting the flow of qi and blood throughout the body; More likely to be less active or to sit mainly at work.
