Do you have a lot of cold hands? Do not tolerate this hypothermia, perhaps, behind your chilliness there are serious problems with the vessels.
The symptoms of this mysterious ailment were described by the French physician Maurice Reynaud in the 19th century, so he was subsequently named after him. The disease is more common in young women and is expressed in an instant numbness of the fingers. Doctors can not explain this phenomenon until now.
Raynaud's disease is frostbite, in which blood circulation in the small arteries of the hands and feet (less often the tip of the nose, ears, tongue) is disturbed. Under the influence of certain factors (vibration, hypothermia, stress, hormonal disorders), there are disruptions in the work of nerve fibers controlling the operation of these vessels, which causes spasm. The blood circulation slows down, and from the lack of oxygen there are pains resembling a spasm, fingers become cold, acquire a bluish or white hue, lose sensitivity.
The first attacks appear after the transferred infections or the effect of provoking factors (severe hypothermia of the hands in contact with cold water, frozen foods). Usually, few people pay attention to this and only intuitively begin to massage and intensively rub their brushes. After 2-3 minutes, when the vascular tone is normal, the color of the fingers returns to normal, and the pain disappears. Over time, attacks of pain can occur without any apparent cause.
To prevent the development of ailment after frostbite, possible complications should be avoided, and drastic measures must be taken. Tempered, train the vessels of the hands and feet with contrasting trays, periodically energetically rub palms one on the other.
Breathe as slowly as possible, deeper, try to always remain calm. During stress, as under the influence of cold, blood drains from the hands and feet to the brain and internal organs. Eat hot food - it helps increase body temperature. Diverse diet with foods high in iron (meat, lentils, buckwheat, parsley). Drink as much as possible of the liquid (herbal teas, broth of rose hips), but drinks with caffeine are excluded, (it narrows the blood vessels).
A few years ago, this mysterious disease of the body was treated exclusively with medications in combination with physiotherapy. But medicine does not stand still, provincial new techniques have appeared: endoscopic sympathectomy, gravitational blood surgery and stem cell therapy.
There are a lot of nerve endings in the fingertips, so those who like to sew, embroider, knit, act wisely. Such a gentle massage improves the functioning of the internal organs, strengthens memory and very well calms the nervous system. Such activities are one of the types of occupational therapy that perfectly switches attention from stressful situations. It is important not to stoop and follow the light.
