Cold hands and feet, press these 4 acupoints to regulate the meridians and relieve

The weather is chilly and cold hands and feet are common symptoms. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, when the temperature changes suddenly, the body's energy is insufficient to supply the extremities, which can cause poor blood circulation and lead to cold hands and feet. The Chinese medicine practitioner specially provides 4 acupoint massage to prevent cold hands and feet.

Chen Chaozong, honorary chairman of the Taipei Chinese Medicine Association, pointed out that cold hands and feet are common in people with poor blood circulation and high stress. In addition to making the body tired and weak and the mind distracted, it can even affect the quality of sleep. On a daily basis, improvements can be made by adding clothes to keep warm, supplementing with foods that help blood circulation, balancing nutrition intake, exercising appropriately, and getting enough sleep.

In addition, acupoint massage can "regulate meridians", promote peripheral blood circulation, and increase metabolic rate. In addition to improving the condition of cold limbs, it can also relieve fatigue, improve sleep disorders, and allow the body and mind to achieve deep relaxation, thereby achieving the effect of strengthening the body.
