Why are my feet cold but my body hot?

Blood flow in each person's body is different. Some people often have cold feet, but their body temperature is normal. Of course, blood circulation follows certain rules and is closely related to people's daily lives. Therefore, people should pay attention to maintaining their bodies and use Chinese medicine regularly for conditioning. But why are my feet cold but my body hot?

Many patients often have this confusion when they see a doctor. Their body is obviously hot, but their hands and feet are very cold, especially their feet. In this case, Western medicine examination shows no problems, but it is very uncomfortable for the patients. Western medicine believes that it is an autonomic nervous system disorder, and generally gives nerve nourishing vitamins for treatment. Some give anti-anxiety and anti-depressant drugs, and some have better effects, while others have no effect.

Traditional Chinese medicine has advantages in treating sub-health. It often has good results by using syndrome differentiation and treatment to treat the problem of hot body and cold feet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the reason for hot body and cold feet is heat in Shaoyang and cold in Taiyin spleen, which belongs to the syndrome of Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction, and is recorded in "Treatise on Febrile Diseases".

On the other hand, the reason is the imbalance of yin and yang. This situation is more common in menopausal women. It is mainly because yin and yang need to be readjusted with age and find a new balance. In this case, symptoms of yin deficiency and yang deficiency will appear at the same time. It conforms to the characteristics of Erxian Decoction syndrome.

The third reason is liver depression and spleen deficiency, resulting in endogenous dampness and heat. This type of patient mainly presents with obvious heat in the abdomen, heat in the body, and cool sensation in the extremities, which is consistent with the characteristics of Si Ni San syndrome. The treatment is better with Si Ni San plus some drugs for clearing dampness and heat.

To sum up, the situation of hot body and cold feet is quite common in life, and Chinese medicine treatment based on dialectical treatment is very effective, but it requires accurate dialectics. Patients should keep a good mood, exercise appropriately, have more contact with the outside world, and cultivate appropriate interests and hobbies. This can also relieve symptoms and reduce distress.
