Cold hands and feet, cold body and fear of cold, which acupoints can be hot compressed or can warm the whole body?
Many of us may have problems with cold hands and feet. There are men and women in this situation. Whether in cold winter, spring and autumn with suitable temperature, or even in hot summer, we will feel cold hands and feet when we turn down the air conditioner indoors. Especially in winter, I am particularly afraid of the cold. Sometimes I get up after a night's sleep and find that my feet are not warm yet. Because my hands are often cold, it is easy to get frostbite and my hands are swollen, so I have to live by electric heaters.

In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, the symptoms of cold hands and feet, cold body and fear of cold are also called "deficiency cold", mainly due to the lack of yang and excessive yin in the human body, which leads to the inability of human internal organs to warm, thus causing the decline of human metabolic function and immunity. This symptom can be improved by some massage methods and some hot compresses on acupoints. Chinese medicine recommends that you massage your Guanyuan point to warm your whole body.

Guanyuan point has the function of "warming the whole body a little". People with cold hands and feet and cold body can use warm baby, electric heating treasure or hair dryer to hot compress our Guanyuan point. This method can improve the cold constitution to some extent.

Our Guanyuan point is three inches below the navel. If you don't know how long three inches is, you can measure it with your finger. Put our forefinger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger together and horizontally under the navel, and you can find the location of Guanyuan point. Hot compress on Guanyuan point can not only improve cold constitution to a certain extent, but also treat dysmenorrhea, insomnia, neurasthenia and other problems in women, and treat diseases related to male urinary and reproductive systems.
