When it's cold, the temperature is low and blood circulation is slow, so the hands and feet are cold, we can all understand. But some people will have cold feet no matter what the season, even in the thirties of summer. Especially as soon as autumn comes, the feet begin to feel cold, and the serious point is the same as the ice lump, and even the body will be cold. What exactly is the reason for this? Is there something wrong with the bodily function? If you also have such a situation, then I will teach you what to do today. Quite simply, it is enough to learn these three tricks well.
The first thing is, of course, to find the cause of cold feet and how to condition them.
The first reason is kidney yang deficiency. Chinese medicine says ah, the kidney is the root of our yin and yang, then the kidney yang has the effect of warming, promoting, and exciting, so the kidney yang is prosperous, and the yang energy of our internal organs will be sufficient. If your kidney yang is lost, the yang qi in the whole body is easy to be weak, what consequences will this lead to
？ Let's imagine that the heat in our body is like a small sun, the sun is bright and the temperature is high, the body is warm, the sun is not bright, our own heat is insufficient, and the cold evil virus outside is easy to invade our body. The first thing that reacted was the last limb. The heat is less, the hands and feet are the first to feel cold, and then the body and torso will be afraid of cold, at this time what joint pain, stomach pain ah. This is because the cold evil invades the joints of the limbs and invades the abdomen.
If it is invaded by the lungs, it is easy to cough and wheeze, and if it invades the spleen and stomach, it may cause diarrhea. Especially women, if they do not pay attention to being attacked by the cold, it is likely that there will be a problem of uterine cold. There are too many problems caused by the palace cold, how to distinguish it? The most typical is cold hands and feet, the body is afraid of cold, the second is to look at the tongue, if a tongue is very light in color, the tongue is white, then be careful.
There is also the love of getting up at night, usually urinating long, all belong to the performance of palace cold. There are many friends, especially easy to feel cold pain in the waist and knees, the waist is sore at every turn, and it is particularly cold when touched, if you have this situation, most of them are kidney yang deficiency.
At this time, we most commonly use proprietary Chinese medicines with the effect of warming the kidney yang to regulate, such as Gui Fudi Huang Pill. Then if the symptoms of your kidney yang deficiency are particularly obvious, in addition to cold feet, but also often get up at night, waist and knees are sore, urine is not good, then you can consider using Jin Kui kidney qi pills to dissolve qi and water. This medicine is based on the cinnamon pills, turning cinnamon into cinnamon branches, and also adding ox knee and psyllium, which can not only diuresis to remove edema, but also draw blood downward, and has a better effect on warming the kidney yang.
The second cause of cold feet is spleen and yang deficiency. Compared with the previous cold evil invasion shown by kidney yang deficiency, spleen and yang deficiency will also appear cold endogenous, so in addition to cold hands and feet and other cold limb problems, there is also a typical symptom is not afraid to eat cold, usually as long as you touch some cold water, drink some ice drinks will stomach pain and diarrhea, this is because the core of ah spleen yang deficiency is in the spleen and stomach. Friends with this kind of problem, usually like warm things, if you feel stomachache after being cold, use a hot water bottle to compress, or drink some hot soup immediately, it will be relieved quickly.
But as long as you touch something cold and ice, this stomach hurts, either a continuous dull pain, or a particularly uncomfortable kind of pain. This kind of person is also easy to distinguish from the tongue, usually stick out the tongue to see, the color is particularly light, but also very fat, there will be tooth marks on both sides, the tongue is white and greasy, and sticky. What should I do if these problems arise? We can use a traditional Chinese proprietary medicine called aconite lizhong pill, which is mainly used to warm the spleen and replenish yang, and has a more symptomatic conditioning effect on the spleen and stomach deficiency caused by hand and foot temperature, vomiting diarrhea, abdominal pain and cold.
The third reason is that the stasis is blocked, and this kind of situation is more complicated. For example, you often find that some friends around you, especially sulking, black face at every turn, as if the top of the head is covered with a dark cloud all year round, the mood is not very good, Chinese medicine calls it "emotional depression", and then this kind of people are prone to cold hands and feet problem differentiation into "four reverse scattered evidence", the typical performance is bad mood, people are not spirited, the chest always seems to gamble like a breath, often stomach pain, urine is not good, love to cough, the end of the limbs are cold. What about the reasons for the problem, one is because of liver stasis, you think, once the liver qi stagnates in our body, the liver and gallbladder are blocked, and the yang qi naturally does not disperse on the limbs, is it easy to have the problem of cold hands and feet?
Therefore, we usually first consider using liver thinning to regulate, such as paying attention to diet, strengthening exercise, and then using drugs such as safflower tablets or gentian diarrhea liver pills to promote gas flow and relieve the temperature of the limbs. In addition to liver stasis, there is also a situation because the meridians are blocked and blocked, which will also lead to cold hands and feet, especially the lower limbs are prone to problems. If the meridians of the buttocks and waist are blocked, then the qi and blood cannot be unblocked along the meridians to the lower limbs, which will not only cause cold feet, but also easily lead to knee joint pain, hip ring jumping point cold pain, lumbar spine diseases and other problems. So ah you will find that people who do not have meridians ah his legs and feet are particularly weak, and it is easy to have back pain, lumbar disc herniation, usually standing for a long time, sitting for a long time, lying down for a long time is even more uncomfortable, this is all because ah meridians are blocked, qi and blood can not go down to the limbs.
In this case, the cold feet are considered light. So what do we do about these kinds of problems? Just regulating the spleen and stomach and replenishing yang qi is no longer enough, the key is to unblock the meridians, in addition to drug cooperation, you can also massage, moxibustion and massage acupuncture points to achieve better results.
So the point is, how should we usually apply the methods of meridians and acupuncture points to adjust this problem? It's simple, come and learn from me.
First of all, the first trick, if it is the problem of cold extremities caused by kidney yang deficiency, then we need to stimulate the acupuncture points of kidney yang, the first recommended acupuncture point is called "Guan Yuan Point", where is it? In our navel, from the front midline of the human body, we can find it 3 inches down the navel. In Chinese medicine, this Guan Yuan Acupoint is the place where the human body's Yuan Yin Yuan Yang is hidden, and it has the effect of cultivating the essence and nourishing the lower focus. Then with a drug with a good temperature effect such as mugwort to carry out moxa, can it warm up the kidney yang? The second kidney tonic point to look for is on the foot, called "Taixi Point". First touch the highest point of the inner ankle of the foot, and then touch the Achilles tendon backwards, connect the two points, and the depression in the middle is the Taixi point, which is the transfusion point of the kidney meridian, which means that the kidney meridian qi and blood must pass through here to be transmitted everywhere.
Therefore, if there are kidney diseases, as well as diseases such as lack of energy, cold hands and feet, female physiological disorders, arthritis and other diseases, then it is very helpful to stimulate this Taixi point, usually we can moxibustion at home to play a role in tonifying kidney yang. In addition, if you are going to the traditional Chinese medicine hospital to recuperate, or let others help moxibustion, there are two acupuncture points that are more recommended, that is, the life gate and the kidney acupoint. Where exactly? First look at the Mengmen Point, in the depression below the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebrae on the midline of the back, moxibustion here has a good conditioning effect on irregular menstruation, kidney yang insufficiency, diarrhea, cold pain in the lower abdomen, and warm limbs. So where are the kidney points? Open a 1.5-inch position next to the point of life, and if you find it, rub it with your fist and you will find that it is particularly sour here. Generally speaking, the more severe the kidney yang deficiency, the more sore it is when rubbing. Moxibustion kidney acupoints have a good effect on nourishing yin and yang, reducing swelling and low back pain, as well as improving waist and knee soreness and urinating.
So what is the second trick? Some people asked, then if I am not kidney yang deficiency, I am spleen yang deficiency caused by cold feet, then what acupuncture points should I use? It's very simple, just find the two positions of Zhongguan and Zusanli. Where exactly is the middle acupoint? Follow the navel all the way up, to the junction below the sternum and the cartilage, connect this position with the navel, and take the middle. If you find it difficult, look for 4 inches above the middle of your belly button and it's easy to find. Stimulating here can help and strengthen the stomach and spleen, regulate qi, and is very good for warming the spleen and yang. And where is Zusanli?
Sit on a chair and bend your knees, three inches down from the outer knee eyes, that is, the width of 4 fingers together, with a depression on the outer edge of the tibia. After finding the location, you rub it with your thumb, and you will feel particularly sore, which means that you have found the right place. Zusanli is the body's strong tonic point, especially for replenishing the spleen and stomach qi is very good, moxibustion here can stimulate our foot yang ming stomach meridian qi and blood, in addition to improving the cold legs, but also help regulate gastritis, constipation, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome, improve the body's immunity.
The third trick is to target the problem of liver stasis and impaired meridians. If you feel that you always like to sulk, and then often chest tightness, chest tightness and feet are very cold, sometimes the entire limbs including the body will be cold, this situation can use two acupuncture points, the first is Tai Chong acupuncture. This position is easy to find, from the big toe and the second toe of the foot all the way up, push to the joint of the toe and instep, find that you can't push, that is, too punchy. Usually rubbing or moxibustion here, has a good effect on liver thinning, in addition to regulating cold pain in the lower limbs, it is also helpful for the treatment of stroke, dizziness and epilepsy. Then there is the period gate cave. How to find it? In the position of about 4 cm in the space between the sixth rib cage directly below the nipple, here corresponds to the liver meridian, often rubbed or patted is good for liver thinning.
So what if it's cold feet caused by blocked meridians? At this time, there are three commonly used points: first, for the waist meridians, use acupuncture, cupping, tuina, gua sha and other traditional Chinese medicine methods to help regulate the problem of lumbar and low back pain; The second is for the buttock meridians, find the ring jumping point, when looking for it, we need to lie on our side, and then the lower leg is straight, the upper leg is bent at the knee, in the outer third of the connection between the lateral femur trochanter and the gluteal fissure, near the hip joint is the ring jumping point, which belongs to the foot less yang bile meridian, with the effect of returning to yang solidification, relaxing tendons and channeling, and relieving lower limb atrophy. If you press this place with your hand and find that it hurts very much, the pain is very severe, and your leg is still very cold, then it is possible that this leg is cold due to the blockage of this ring jumping point, and the qi and blood cannot go down. What about us, we can also rub or moxibustion this acupuncture point.
