What to do if your toes are numb

Nowadays, many people work in front of computers every day, sitting all day long and rarely walking, which leads to poor blood circulation and numbness in parts of the body. If this continues for a long time, the blockage of various parts of the body will lead to many diseases. So is there any way to solve the problem of toe numbness caused by sitting for a long time? Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes on unblocking. As long as the acupoints are unblocked, many symptoms of the human body will be solved.

Many people experience numbness or stiffness in their toes, feeling numb, swollen, difficult to flex and extend, and inflexible in movement. "Feeling like ants crawling" or "pins and needles", some patients have "socks" or "sleeves" type abnormal sensations, and feel that their skin has become thicker and their senses are dulled. Many patients often experience attacks during sleep at night, and may wake up from numbness, or feel swelling, numbness, discomfort and stiffness in their hands after getting up in the morning, which can be relieved after a little activity. The above symptoms often worsen after catching cold or being tired. Accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, and fear of cold hands and feet.

It is not very obvious at the beginning, and this phenomenon does not occur often. When the weather is cold or the hands and feet are cold, this phenomenon will be more obvious. And if you observe carefully, the nails of the numb toes are thicker, much thicker than usual. And the more severe the numbness, the darker the color of the nails, and the less glossy it is. When you see a doctor, you are told that it is not onychomycosis. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, these phenomena are actually caused by deficiency of Qi and blood, invasion of cold evil into the body, and poor circulation of Qi and blood.
