Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the root of the body's yang qi. "Patients with renal failure may experience impaired kidney yin and yang, or may feel tepid hands and feet, fear of cold, etc. due to their own yang deficiency constitution. In addition, they often have symptoms such as pale and colorless complexion, tired limbs, frequent night sweats, or accompanied by cold pain in the lumbar spine.".
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yang deficiency is a further development of qi deficiency. Therefore, people with insufficient yang often exhibit poor mood and are prone to sadness. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen mental recuperation, be good at regulating their emotions, to worry about sadness, prevent panic, joy, and anger, and eliminate the impact of adverse emotions.
1. Selection of environment: Patients should choose a relatively warm environment and try not to stay in a cold and shady environment for too long. This is mainly due to the fact that people with a yang deficiency constitution prefer warmth and fear cold, and are resistant to spring, summer, and autumn, winter. Therefore, attention should be paid to environmental regulation to improve the body's resistance.
2. For self exercise, patients should strengthen their own exercise, which can not only increase their own resistance, but also increase their own benevolence. This is mainly because "movement generates yang", so it is recommended that patients do more outdoor sports, such as walking, dancing, play badminton, etc.
3. Reasonable diet: Patients should have a reasonable diet and eat more aphrodisiac foods such as lamb, dog meat, venison, and chicken. Eat foods rich in iron, such as animal liver, lamb, fish, eggs, black fungus, milk, beans, and green leafy vegetables. Eating more iodine rich foods such as kelp, fish, shrimp, and oysters can also improve cold resistance.
4. Patients should pay attention to their own thermal insulation measures, and patients should pay attention to appropriate increase or decrease in clothing, with special attention to the warmth of the head, abdomen, and feet. Every night, before going to bed, they should adhere to using warm water to wash their feet.
The above describes some methods for patients with renal failure to recuperate their hands and feet from hypothermia. Especially for female friends, they should actively do a good job of body cooling, which is not only beneficial to the treatment of renal failure, but also not beneficial to their own body.
