Lack of qi and blood, cold hands and feet are good to collect!

The weather is slowly getting colder, and many people, especially women, the elderly, and people who are usually frail, are prone to have a situation: their hands and feet are cold, and they are cool from the inside out, and they can't cover it no matter how much they wear. At this time, eating ginger is easy to get angry.

Hu Bin, director of the rehabilitation department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, who is good at physical conditioning, said:

"Most people with cold hands and feet have yang deficiency constitution.

"There are two reasons for cold hands and feet, one is congenital weakness, such as spleen and yang deficiency; The second is the acquired lifestyle, such as greedy eating cold food, blowing air conditioners excessively, wearing less clothes and being less exposed to the cold. ”

If the hands and feet are allowed to be cold, the spleen and yang will be more deficient, resulting in low spleen and stomach function, weakened digestive function, affecting nutrient absorption, and further development can lead to poor spirit, yellowish complexion, and sensitivity to cold throughout the body.
