Many people feel cold when they come in autumn and winter, and wearing thick clothes and covering them with thick quilts is not easy to relieve. This phenomenon is relatively common for women. This phenomenon is prone to diseases such as hypothyroidism, Xihan syndrome, , Raynaud's syndrome, obstructive vasculitis, etc. If you do not have the above diseases but have cold hands and feet when the weather is slightly cold, you can expect to achieve better results by using traditional Chinese medicine. Even if you suffer from the above diseases, using traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation and conditioning on the basis of actively treating the primary disease will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
I often hear some women saying that drinking red dates, longan, wolfberry and other soup every day will not solve the problem of cold hands and feet. Most of them are not correct. Therefore, body conditioning needs to be carried out under the guidance of a professional Chinese medicine practitioner. Below are four common types of symptoms of cold hands and feet, and four medicinal foods are recommended.
Splen and kidney yang deficiency : Angelica sinensis ginger mutton soup
In addition to the cold hands and feet, people with spleen and kidney yang deficiency also have symptoms of fear of cold. They usually wear more clothes than ordinary people and are prone to diarrhea. Yang energy is the foundation of life, and warming the body is one of its important functions. If the yang energy is insufficient and cannot reach the ends of the limbs such as hands and feet, fear of cold and cold hands and feet will occur. Treatment requires warming the yang and strengthening the spleen. Fuzi Lizhong Wan , Guifu Lizhong Wan , Yougui Wan, etc. are commonly used.
Angelica Ginger and Lamb Soup originated from " Jinkui Yaolue " is a famous warm-yang recipe. Stewed with Angelica 20g, 30g ginger, and 500g mutton, it has the effects of nourishing qi and blood, warming the middle and dispelling cold. It is suitable for those who are not warm with hands and feet, have cold pain in the abdomen, and are afraid of cold and like to be warm.
Both Qi and Blood Deficiencies: Astragalus Codonopsis and Pesticide Black Chicken Soup
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi is the commander of blood, and blood is the mother of Qi. If the qi and blood are unable to push, and if the cold evil is felt, the cold stagnation will cause blood circulation to slow down, and the blood supply at the end of the limbs will reduce, causing cold hands and feet. This type of people not only experiences cold hands and feet, but also symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, white face and fatigue, insomnia and dreaming, pale tongue, and weak pulse. Treatment is suitable for nourishing qi and blood. It is commonly used for large Shiquan Dabu Wan , Bazhen Wan and other large replenishing qi and blood .
This type of population diet therapy is based on the principle of replenishing qi and nourishing blood . You can use 15g of Astragalus and Codonopsis pilosula to make soup with black chicken. You can also use longan, red dates and wolfberry to boil water instead of tea in daily life.
Blood deficiency and cold coagulation: Ginger and red date tea
Blood deficiency and cold coagulation type is a mixture of deficiency and excess. Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing has a description of "the hands and feet are cold and the pulse is thin and thin". The pulse is thin and depressed because the human body has insufficient blood deficiency and cannot fill the blood vessels; cold hands and feet means cold limbs, which is caused by cold air. Danggui Sini Decoction can be used for treatment. Spleen and stomach deficiency and cold , abdominal cold pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and hands and feet are not warm, you can also choose Aconite Lizhong Pills that warm the middle and strengthen the spleen.
Ginger and red date tea can be used for diet therapy for this type of population. Take 15g of ginger and 5~6 red dates. Wash the ginger and cut it into pieces, put it in the pot with the red dates, add appropriate amount of water and boil for 10 to 15 minutes. Add appropriate amount of brown sugar before taking the pot, and try to drink tea in the morning as much as possible every day. Ginger tastes spicy and can dispel cold. Red dates and brown sugar have the effects of invigorating qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach. Brown sugar can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis .
liver qi stagnation: Tangerine peel malt porridge
people with liver qi stagnation are often caused by liver qi stagnation, and the qi and blood cannot reach the limbs, and symptoms such as cold hands and feet, depression in the expression, chest and flank pain, bitter mouth dry throat, white tongue coating, stringy pulse and other symptoms. Such patients can be treated with liver relief and depression. Si Ni San recorded in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" is a famous prescription specially for treating this type of syndrome. There are modern Chinese patent medicine Si Ni San that can be taken directly, or they can be used such medicines as Chaihu Shugan San to relieve liver and regulate qi.
This type of dietary therapy can be used for tangerine peel malt porridge, take raw malt 50g, tangerine peel 10g, and 100g rice, boil raw malt and tangerine peel in water, filter out the residue, add the medicinal juice to cook porridge.
