What's wrong with cold soles of feet?

Due to their physical constitution, women are prone to cold hands and feet. Sometimes even when the weather is hot, some women still feel the soles of their feet are very cold. Moreover, the cold soles of the feet do not occur occasionally, but happen frequently, sometimes lasting for a long time, making people very uncomfortable. So, what is the reason for cold soles of feet women? Let’s take a look below.

If women experience cold soles of their feet, according to TCM theory, yang deficiency causes coldness, so it is usually considered a clinical manifestation caused by kidney yang deficiency. Cold soles of the feet caused by insufficient kidney yang are usually accompanied by cold pain in the waist and knees, chills and cold limbs, frequent urination or difficulty urinating, edema, cold pain in the lower abdomen in women, uterine cold and infertility, etc.

Treatment methods for women with kidney yang deficiency

1. Mental care

People with insufficient Yang Qi often show bad moods, such as those with liver Yang deficiency who are prone to fear, and those with heart Yang deficiency who are prone to sadness. Therefore, we should be good at regulating our emotions and eliminating or reducing the impact of negative emotions.

2. Environmental Adjustment

Such women have a poor ability to adapt to changes in temperature and will feel unbearably cold if it gets slightly cooler. Therefore, in the cold winter, we should “avoid the cold and keep warm”, and in the spring and summer, we should pay attention to cultivating and replenishing the Yang energy.

3. Physical exercise

Because "movement generates yang", people with yang deficiency should strengthen physical exercise, persevere in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and do it 1 to 2 times a day. Specific activities depend on physical strength, such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, Wu Qin Xi, Ba Duan Jin, internal nourishment exercises, work-break exercises, ball games and various dance activities. You can also take sun baths and air baths frequently to strengthen Wei Yang. In terms of Qigong, insist on doing strengthening exercises, standing exercises, health care exercises, and longevity exercises.

4. Diet adjustment

You should eat more foods that have aphrodisiac effects, such as lamb, dog meat, venison, and chicken. According to the principle of "nourishing yang in spring and summer", during the three hottest days of summer, you can eat aconite porridge or mutton and aconite soup once during each of the three hottest days of summer. This is most effective in strengthening the yang of the human body when the yang of heaven and earth is strong.

5. Medication for health

You can choose products that can replenish yang and dispel cold, and warm the liver and kidneys. Commonly used medicines include deer antler, seal kidney, gecko, cordyceps, Morinda officinalis, epimedium, curculigo, Cistanche deserticola, psoralea corylifolia, walnut, Eucommia ulmoides, Dipsacus asper, Cuscuta australis, etc. The ready-made prescriptions include Jinkui Shenqi Pills, Yougui Pills, and Quanlu Pills. If the patient's yang deficiency is mainly heart yang deficiency, take Guizhi Gancao Decoction with cinnamon regularly. If the deficiency is severe, add ginseng. If the patient's yang deficiency is mainly spleen yang deficiency, choose Lizhong Pills, which can be made into Fuzi Lizhong Pills. If both spleen and kidney deficiency is present, Jisheng Shenqi Pills can be used.
