– If symptoms persist, consider oriental medicine treatment to protect the body and enhance circulation.
– Risk of recurrence is high, so lifestyle management is important. Keep your body warm and exercise is also necessary.
[이데일리 이순용 기자] Cold hands and feet literally refers to a condition in which hands or feet are excessively cold at a temperature where one would not feel cold. As the temperature drops, the symptoms become more severe, leading to complaints of soreness and numbness. It may appear as a disease such as Raynaud’s syndrome or hypothyroidism, or it may occur constitutionally without any cause. If symptoms persist and daily life is difficult, you can consider oriental medicine treatment. Learn about cold hands and feet with the help of Professor Chang-Hoon Lee of the Department of Oriental Medicine and Gynecology at Gangdong Kyunghee University Oriental Medical Hospital.
◇ Hands and feet are cold, and in severe cases, numbness or numbness occurs.
Cold hands and feet usually cause cold hands and feet, but when the condition worsens, the cold becomes worse, causing tingling or numbness, and may be accompanied by decreased sensation or cramps. Cold hands and feet occurs when blood vessels constrict due to external stimuli such as cold or tension, resulting in less blood supply to peripheral areas such as hands and feet. It can be caused by Raynaud’s syndrome or a disease that interferes with blood circulation in the hands and feet, or it can also occur without a specific disease or clear reason.
◇ There are more women than men because of hormonal changes and physiological differences.
Cold hands and feet occurs frequently in women. Professor Chang-Hoon Lee of the Department of Oriental Medicine and Gynecology at Kangdong Kyunghee University Oriental Medicine Hospital said, “Women have more hormonal changes during pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause than men, and the fact that they have fewer muscles than men that physiologically produce heat energy in the body can also be the reason.” He explained, “Also, women are often more emotional, so they experience depression due to emotional changes, and the resulting decrease in peripheral circulation is also why they are more vulnerable to cold hands and feet.”
◇ It is important to take care of those with a weak body, and those with impaired blood circulation must relieve gas, dampness, and stagnant blood.
First, distinguish between cases caused by diseases such as Raynaud’s syndrome or hypothyroidism. If there is no special cause disease, cold hands and feet, as well as systemic symptoms such as digestive condition, stool, urine, sleep, and headache are analyzed and classified into real symptoms and false symptoms. In the case of arrhythmia, it is judged that the cardiac output is too weak and the energy circulating to the periphery is weak, and it is given to nourishment. If there is no problem with the cardiac output, but the arrhythmia is caused by a problem that interferes with blood circulation, the energy is judged to be weak and the energy circulating to the periphery is weak. Treatment is given to relieve moisture, phlegm, and stagnant blood.
◇ Lifestyle management is important as there are many recurrences
Even with treatment, cold hands and feet may improve and then reappear at any time. For people who have a constitutionally weak stomach function, lack energy, or are easily angry or sensitive, it is important to consistently manage areas that may cause problems during daily life to prevent the body’s balance from being lost.
◇ It helps to keep the body warm, maintain an appropriate indoor temperature environment, and get enough exercise.
In particular, cold energy constricts blood vessels and impedes blood flow, so if you suffer from ischemia, you must warm up not only your hands and feet but also your entire body and take care of your surroundings. It is also a good idea to maintain an appropriate indoor temperature and use hot packs or hand warmers during outdoor activities. Foot baths and massages are also helpful. If you are not suffering from emptiness, think positively to avoid stagnation, and do enough exercise to make you sweat. Exercising for at least 30 minutes a day is the best way to raise your heart rate and promote blood circulation. Quitting smoking is also important because improving cardiopulmonary function helps blood circulation.
◇ Foods with warm properties such as chives, ginger, salmon, etc. are helpful.
Cold hands and feet can be greatly affected by eating habits. Garlic, which has a spicy and warm taste, activates metabolism and warms the body. Chives, widely known as an aphrodisiac, help restore vitality to the body and are very good for patients with cold hands and feet who get tired easily due to lack of appetite. In addition, ginger, red pepper, salmon, etc. can help with cold hands and feet. Conversely, excessive caffeine causes vasoconstriction and makes blood circulation difficult, foods containing high fat can impede blood circulation and block blood vessels, and cold foods such as ice cream can lower body temperature and be harmful to cold hands and feet. .
