Cold Extremities
Causes and Symptoms
Cold extremities can be challenging to treat as they are often linked to congenital circulatory issues. In severe cases, symptoms may persist even during summer months.
Women experiencing cold extremities frequently report coldness not only in their hands and feet but also in their lower abdomen. This can lead to menstrual irregularities, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and in severe cases, ovulation disorders and infertility.
Additionally, since cold extremities are primarily caused by poor metabolism, this can lead to weakened immunity, making individuals more susceptible to various conditions including vaginal infections.
Treatment
Traditional Korean medicine offers various treatment methods for cold extremities including ▲herbal medicine ▲acupuncture ▲moxibustion ▲pharmacopuncture ▲chuna therapy.
Due to the diverse causes, accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the appropriate treatment method, with herbal medicine being commonly used to warm the body from within.
However, since cold extremities cannot be easily treated with simple warming herbs alone, AIBI Clinic uses specialized herbal formulas that direct warmth to the hands and feet while balancing body temperature and enhancing overall metabolism.
