Treating Raynauds

❄️ Raynaud’s Disease in TCM

Raynaud’s is a condition involving vasospasm of the small arteries in the fingers and/or toes, leading to noticeable color changes during an episode.

🗝️ Key Presentation:
Fingers/toes turn white, then purple (sometimes red upon recovery)
Clear line between affected and unaffected areas
Mild pain or numbness
More common in women

Triggers often include:
❄️ Cold exposure
🚬 Smoking
😣 Emotional stress

With chronic cases, digits may become tight, stiff, and less mobile.

🌿 TCM Perspective:

Often involves Cold invasion, Qi & Blood stagnation, and possible Yang deficiency, impairing proper circulation to the extremities.

🎯 Treatment Options:

💧 Hydrotherapy (daily):

Cold water → 15 seconds
Hot water → 2 minutes
🔁 Repeat 5 cycles to stimulate circulation

👂 Ear acupuncture points: Liver, Heart, Fingers & Toes

💡 Clinical focus: Warm the channels, move Blood, and regulate Liver Qi to improve peripheral circulation.
