Girls' hands and feet are cold

Girls have cold hands and feet because of insufficient Yang or kidney deficiency. Insufficient Yang can lead to excess Yang, which in turn causes the whole body to be cold. We should eat something to promote body warmth, or soak our feet to promote blood circulation to alleviate the lack of Yang. As for the reasons why women have cold hands and feet, we can understand the contents introduced in this article and then make timely adjustments.

The reasons why women have cold hands and feet in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine

1. Insufficient Yang Energy: This situation is more common in women with poor physical constitution. They themselves have insufficient qi, blood and yang energy, and excess yin energy in their bodies, the so-called "excessive yin leads to cold", and yang deficiency leads to internal cold, so their hands and feet are naturally prone to coldness. Coupled with insufficient Qi and blood, nutrients and calories cannot reach the extremities of the body to nourish the limbs, so the hands and feet are cold in all seasons.

2. Deficiency of Qi and blood: The "Qi and blood" mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine are the carriers of all substances in the human body. Sufficient and smooth flow of Qi and blood are vital to the human body. However, women are prone to qi and blood deficiency due to menstruation, pregnancy and other reasons. Or many girls go on a diet to lose weight, which can cause malnutrition and lead to insufficient qi and blood.

3. External attack of cold evil: Many young girls do not pay attention to keeping warm, refuse to wear coats in winter, or insist on wearing short skirts and shorts. This is wrong. In addition, excessive exposure to wind and cold, eating raw and cold food, and wading in the rain can all lead to the invasion of cold evil. If you catch a cold, the meridians in your body will be like small rivers frozen in winter. If the meridians are blocked, Qi and blood will not flow, which will naturally cause illness.

4. Deficient and cold constitution: Girls who are thin and have a deficient and cold constitution are most likely to have cold hands and feet, because this type of people has poor peripheral blood circulation, which can easily disrupt the body temperature regulation mechanism. Cold hands and feet are caused by the poor regulation of the autonomic nervous system and the thinning of blood vessels. Moreover, toes, knees, shoulders, fingers and other parts are joint areas with more movement, and because there are relatively fewer fat and blood vessels, heat is easily lost.

5. Liver Qi stagnation: We should have had this experience in our daily lives: when we are nervous, uneasy or depressed, our hands and feet will become cold and sweaty, and in severe cases, our faces may even turn pale and our lips may turn white. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, long-term depression or excessive stress can cause liver qi to be suppressed in the body, preventing qi from being released to the outside, resulting in chest tightness, abdominal distension, pain in the ribs, and cold hands and feet.

The woman's hands and feet are cold or she is sick.

1. Insufficient secretion of thyroid hormone: When the body's thyroid hormone secretion is insufficient, the blood circulation in the skin and other parts of the body slows down, heat production is insufficient, and the body is more sensitive to cold.

2. Vascular diseases: Some vascular diseases, such as Raynaud's disease and Takayasu arteritis which are common in young women, and thromboangiitis obliterans which is more common in middle-aged men, can affect the blood supply to the extremities of the human body.

4. Caused by hormonal changes in women’s bodies: Certain hormonal changes caused by women’s menstruation and childbirth can lead to subcutaneous vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow, which in turn causes cold hands and feet.

5. Or it may be due to decreased heart function: Cold hands and feet are closely related to heart function, because blood is sent by the heart, carrying oxygen to all parts of the body. Only after sugar is oxidized can heat energy be generated, and hands and feet will be warm. Once heart function declines, blood circulation will be affected, causing cold hands and feet. For example, a weak heart can lead to a significant reduction in blood supply to the extremities of the body, causing the extremities to cool down.

6. Possible cancer: If you have cold hands and feet all year round, often feel tired and cold, have no energy, have pale lips, and have decreased libido, men often have nocturnal emissions, and women have clear and thin leucorrhea, then you need to be vigilant. "This type of people has a cold constitution, that is, a yang deficiency constitution." Experts said that the occurrence of tumors is closely related to the body's positive energy. People with long-term weak spleen and stomach and insufficient positive energy are more likely to be invaded by "evil energy" and may develop cancer. As the saying goes, "a weak spleen and stomach leads to accumulation of accumulation", therefore, people with the above problems should see a doctor as soon as possible. Especially if there are early signs of cancer such as coughing up blood and black stools, you should seek medical attention promptly.
