When the temperature gradually drops and the weather becomes colder, everyone must remember to put on more clothes to keep warm. If the cold wind invades, it is easy to catch a cold. However, some people have experienced this situation: as the weather gradually gets colder, their hands and feet also begin to become cold, and it is difficult to warm them up no matter what they do. So what causes a person to have cold hands and feet due to cold weather? [Four major reasons for cold hands and feet in autumn and winter] Reason 1 for cold hands and feet: Kidney Yang deficiency Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "kidney yang" is the source of human body heat energy and the driving force of kidney physiological functions. If a person's kidney yang is insufficient, he or she will experience cold hands and feet, and some may also be accompanied by fear of cold, chest tightness, fatigue, shortness of breath, Symptoms include frequent urination at night, a cold lower abdomen, a pale and fat tongue, a deep and weak pulse, and it is difficult to warm up even after putting on clothes. So if you want to keep your hands and feet from being cold in autumn and winter, check whether your kidney yang is sufficient. Reason 2 for cold hands and feet: Spleen and stomach deficiency The spleen and stomach are the source of the production of Qi and blood. If a person's spleen and stomach are not in good condition, the Yang Qi will not be transmitted to the extremities, resulting in cold hands and feet. Especially in autumn and winter, the spleen and stomach are prone to deficiency and coldness and need to be properly adjusted. Reason 3 for cold hands and feet: blood deficiency and cold stagnation People with blood deficiency and cold stagnation often have symptoms such as cold hands and feet, dizziness, fatigue and weakness due to weak Qi and blood and inability to transport blood to the extremities. This situation often occurs in women. Some women with cold hands and feet may also have symptoms such as scanty and light menstruation, even amenorrhea in the later stages, limb numbness and body pain, and a pale and purple tongue. Therefore, women should also pay attention to cold hands and feet. Reason 4 for cold hands and feet: Liver Qi stagnation People with liver qi stagnation often have cold hands and feet, depressed expression, easy to be upset, easily angry, bad temper, high pressure, often feel bad, have symptoms such as fullness and pain in the chest and flanks, white tongue coating, and stringy pulse because the liver qi is blocked inside and qi and blood cannot reach the limbs. One characteristic of cold hands and feet is that the hands are not colder than the elbows, and the feet are not colder than the knees. After understanding the reasons for cold hands and feet, I believe you can find ways to deal with them. Although cold hands and feet are not a disease, they should not be ignored in autumn and winter. Wouldn't it be better to warm up your whole body? |
