Why do I always feel cold?

For people nowadays, the body temperature will have some strange changes, and some people often feel cold all over, but don’t know what causes this inexplicable cold. Even though they have worn a lot of clothes, they still feel very cold. Let’s take a look at the reasons for the cold.

1. People with yang deficiency will be afraid of cold

This is the most important reason. To put it simply, yang deficiency means that the body's vital fire is insufficient. The reasons may be the genetic constitution of parents, the damage of Qi and blood caused by eating too much cold food, the damage of Yang caused by taking too many cold medicines, and excessive consumption.

In short, such people are afraid of cold all over, have cold limbs all year round, catch cold when moving, always feel tired and sleepy, have pale or dark complexion, have clear and long urine, loose stools, reduced sexual desire and sexual function, pale tongue, and weak pulse.

2. People with both Qi and blood deficiency will also be afraid of cold

This is something that many people do not think about. Deficiency of Qi and blood can also cause fear of cold, because blood circulates through the body with temperature and has the function of warming the body. If there is not enough blood, the limbs will easily become cold.

Many women suffer from blood deficiency due to childbirth (or even miscarriage), and have not replenished it, resulting in deficiency of both Qi and blood. Subsequently, they develop symptoms of chills. No matter how they replenish Yang, it is of no use. In such a situation, as long as they replenish Qi and blood, the body will recover more easily.

3. Liver Qi discomfort can also cause fear of cold

Everyone may feel strange, but it is true. Many people who have cold limbs originally thought it was yang deficiency, but it turned out to be liver qi discomfort. Disharmony of the liver qi will cause poor circulation of qi, retaining qi and blood in the central palace, while the limbs will become cold. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is also called "Sini" and the well-known "Sini San" is used to treat this disease.

People with this type of liver qi disharmony usually have a long, pointed or fat mouth. In addition, there are often groaning, bitter taste in the mouth, dry mouth, dry eyes, dizziness, stomach bloating and stomach pain, diarrhea when anxious, upset, temper tantrums, nausea, vomiting of acid, hiccups, chest tightness and palpitations, bloating and pain in the ribs, insomnia, and nightmares.

4. Blood stasis can also cause fear of cold

Everyone may find the fear of cold caused by blood stasis strange, but once I explain the principle clearly, everyone will understand. Blood stasis can cause obstruction of blood circulation and cause obstruction. Therefore, in some cases, the obstruction occurs at a certain point in the body and there is also a fever phenomenon, such as a local lump, which can even cause a fever. However, if the blood stasis is systemic, the blood circulation in the whole body will be slow, which will cause the blood to be unable to warm the limbs, thus causing chills.

For example, people with congestion will feel much colder than others in winter. And usually after catching a cold, the limbs will become grayer and grayer, and even the veins will bulge and appear very dark, and the mouth will easily turn purple due to the cold.
