In order to maintain a slim figure, many women blindly lose weight and adopt the method of eating less or not eating. It should be noted that food is an important source of calories for the body. If they lose weight excessively or become too hungry, it can lead to weak yang energy and cold hands and feet.
Some women, in order to maintain their image, neglect to keep warm in winter and freeze their beauty. In summer, they stay in air-conditioned rooms and let the cold air invade their bodies - all of these can cause damage to their yang energy.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, cold hands and feet are primarily due to insufficient yang qi - the human body is a balance of yin blood and yang qi, and is healthy in a balance of yin and yang. However, if one side decreases, the person will have adverse reactions.
Cold hands and feet are actually the result of "yang deficiency leading to internal coldness"; Secondly, it is caused by blood deficiency and poor blood circulation in the human body.
How can cold hands and feet "warm up"?

After bathing, pay attention to keeping warm and have a good sleep; Alternatively, rub the Dazhui acupoint with the palm of your hand for 5-10 minutes each morning and evening to make the acupoint feel sour, swollen, and hot.

Yangchi acupoint (located on the back of a person's hand or wrist, down the inner side of the little finger until the transverse crease on the back of the wrist) is an important acupoint that controls blood circulation and hormone secretion throughout the body. Stimulating this acupoint can quickly unblock blood circulation, balance hormone secretion, warm the body, and thus eliminate chills.
Stimulating the Yangchi acupoint is best done slowly, with a longer duration and slower force. It is best to use both hands together. First, use the middle finger of one hand to press the Yangchi acupoint of the other hand, and then switch to using the middle finger of the other hand to press the Yangchi acupoint on that hand. This position can naturally transfer the force from the middle finger to the Yangchi acupoint.
