Some people often feel cold hands and feet in winter and can't seem to warm up. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners suggest that this may be due to lack of regular exercise or poor cardiopulmonary function, leading to poor blood circulation. At this time, one can consume medicinal foods containing cinnamon twig, cinnamon bark, and astragalus. Additionally, soaking feet in hot water before bed can also be helpful.

When the weather turns cold, hands and feet often feel icy. Dr. Lin Yingu, a TCM physician at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, said that some young people, especially women, who sit at work and do not exercise regularly, are prone to this phenomenon. In addition to soaking feet in warm water before bed to warm the limbs, one can also consume medicinal foods like Shiquan Dabu Tang and lamb hot pot to supply heat.
However, doctors also remind that some elderly people have cold hands and feet due to diseases such as hypertension and heart failure, which lead to poor cardiopulmonary function and poor blood circulation. Taking supplements indiscriminately may not improve the condition and could instead burden the heart. Therefore, it is best to consult a TCM practitioner for targeted treatment or to improve the disease. At the same time, doctors also recommend that if hands and feet often feel cold, it is best to eat less cold-natured foods such as pears, oranges, tangerines, seafood, and tofu. Additionally, since anxiety and depression can cause blood vessels to constrict, it is important to relax, which can help improve the condition.
