COLD HANDS AND FEET (RAYNAUD’S SYNDROME)
Cold hands and feet can be very uncomfortable, especially in winter, but some people suffer this problem constantly. It is caused by an abnormal spasm of blood vessels.
This poor circulation in the extremities can be caused from smoking. It is a documented fact that smoking causes peripheral vaso-constriction which lessens the blood flow to the extremities. If you are smoking then you should stop.
The vitamins contained in your food especially vitamin E can be very important. Vitamin E helps improve circulation. Start with 100 IU of vitamin E daily and slowly increase over six weeks to 500 IU daily. Herbs such as hawthorn berry can be very beneficial. Hawthorn berries have the ability to help dilation of the blood vessels, especially in the extremities, and this vasodilation warms the hands and feet.
Ginkgo and garlic are herbs that can also improve circulation. Chilli peppers can be included with your food and will warm you up. Chillies can be in a tablet or capsule.
