What's wrong with my body's skin being cold

Every year after the White Dew solar term, many girls start to have cold hands and feet and their bodies become chilly. This is what is called body cold. Many girls with cold body suffer from dysmenorrhea, and their pain is much more than that of ordinary girls. Correcting a cold constitution is a very slow process. Not only internal adjustments need to be made, but also external attention should be paid. For example, girls should not wear belly-revealing clothes. This article introduces the content about body cold in detail, let’s take a look.

"Cold body" is mostly called "deficiency cold" in traditional Chinese medicine, which means the physique is weak and cold. Traditional Chinese medicine can explain the condition using the "Eight-Principle Syndrome Differentiation" method, which is divided into "yin, yang, exterior, interior, deficiency, excess, cold, and heat." According to the Eight-Principles Syndrome Differentiation, both deficiency and coldness appear in the same person, so we say that this person suffers from deficiency-coldness. People with cold constitution are afraid of cold, and if they are weak, they are even more afraid of cold. If women have a cold constitution for a long time, it will affect their fertility, menstruation, etc., and men will suffer from sexual dysfunction.

Body cold is a symptom caused by the intersection of physical constitution and lifestyle habits. It takes a long time to completely cure body cold, but as long as we pay more attention in our lives and maintain healthy living habits for a long time, we can effectively prevent and treat body cold. Most of the heat in the body is generated by "muscles", especially through the "use" of the lower body muscles, which can effectively promote blood circulation throughout the body, thereby achieving the effect of body heat. On weekdays, you can try to stand on tiptoe and stretch your fingers to improve blood circulation and effectively prevent cold.

Causes of body cold:

1. Circulatory disorders 1. A weak heart cannot supply blood to the extremities of the body. 2. Anemia: insufficient circulating blood volume or low hemoglobin and red blood cells. 3. The human body's blood vessels will contract and the blood return ability will be weakened, resulting in poor blood circulation in the hands and feet, especially the fingertips, which is often called "poor peripheral circulation."

2. Insufficient Yang Qi. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold hands and feet are a kind of "blocked syndrome." The so-called "blocked" means blocked. It is affected by factors such as cool weather or cold body, which causes the liver meridian to become cold. The liver's hematopoietic function is affected, resulting in insufficient kidney yang, cold limbs, red or white hands and feet, and even pain.

3. Hormonal changes caused by menstruation and childbirth. Among people with cold hands and feet, women account for the vast majority. This is because hormonal changes affect the nervous system, causing subcutaneous blood vessels to constrict and blood flow to decrease, thus causing cold symptoms.

4. Disease factors include Raynaud's disease, Raynaud's phenomenon, and Takayasu arteritis, which often occur in young women. Thromboangiitis obliterans mostly occurs in middle-aged men. In addition, people who are under excessive mental stress, are overly sensitive, worry too much, and are often uneasy are also at high risk of cold hands and feet.
