Soon it will be winter again, there are many people with cold hands and feet, susceptible to frostbite, and afraid of cold began to worry that this winter is not good, and some people have even started to have cold hands and feet, what is this phenomenon, and how should we prevent and treat it? First of all, let’s talk about the causes. The above phenomenon is common among people who work outside in the cold in winter, who frequently touch cold water when doing housework or who have no protective measures for outdoor activities, whose skin is exposed to the cold and whose small subcutaneous arteries contract in the cold, resulting in impaired peripheral blood circulation and frostbite. In Chinese medicine, this is a disease that is a manifestation of the lack of yang energy in the human body. Yang deficiency is caused by congenital factors and acquired factors. Congenital factors are most often seen in premature infants or in parents with Yang deficiency inherited from the next generation, due to a lack of innate endowment and a deficiency of Yang in the body. More people with Yang deficiency are formed later in life, such as those who are cold in summer, or those who do not pay attention to life conditioning, like wearing shoes barefoot, wearing clothes and hats to be windy and not warm, especially women who do not pay attention to avoid cold and keep warm before and after their menstrual period, or young people who live in an uncontrolled way, often stay up late, work and live under great pressure, etc., which can lead to the gradual dissipation of Yang energy in the body. What is the significance of Yang energy to the human body? Yang Qi is like the sun in nature, which plays the role of warmth and propulsion for the human body. If Yang Qi is insufficient, the warmth function will be reduced, and the strength of pushing Qi and blood will be weakened, thus causing poor Qi and blood flow in the extremities and face, which will lead to fear of cold and even frostbite.

Its treatment is widely applicable, effective, fast, and without any toxic side effects, especially for replenishing Yang Qi, to get rid of cold and damp most effective, so the people are called “the method of tonic”.
