Acupuncture point treatment for cold hands and feet

In some patients, the hands and feet are always cold, and the symptoms are more severe in winter. This condition is caused by weakness and poor blood circulation in the peripheral blood vessels, or due to the thermoregulatory function of the body. In winter, in order to preserve heat and maintain body temperature, the contraction of the small arteries of their limbs is also more significant, and peripheral blood is reduced, so the hands and feet also appear cold. In ancient times, we have used massage treatment techniques for cold hands and feet. This massage method can promote blood circulation in the peripheral blood vessels of the extremities, thus eliminating the “cold” disease. The so-called “hit”, the specific practice is to pound both arms, pat both legs. The following is a common method of acupressure of the extremities: press the Yang Chi point can treat cold hands and feet. The Yang Chi point is in the collection of bones on the back of the hand. To take the point, first cock the back of the hand upward and several folds will appear on the wrist. Press on the fold near the back of the hand on that side and you will find a pressure point at the center, which is the Yang Chi point. Rubbing the Yongquan point also helps to change the cold condition of the feet. The method is as follows: sitting cross-legged, both hands rubbed hot, with the middle three fingers of the right hand to rub the left foot until the heart of the foot is hot, and then use the same technique to rub the right foot.
