Question
Recently, I noticed that my child’s left hand is frequently cold during indoor activities, while the right hand is normal. I wonder what factors might be causing this?
Answer
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the coldness of the left hand in the child may be due to deficiency of kidney Yang. It is recommended to try taking some traditional Chinese medicines such as “Ren Shaoyao”, “Ren Qi Wan”, “Yu Hui Rong”, “Jin Kui Zhen Qi Wan”, and “You Gu Wan”. Additionally, a comprehensive treatment approach combining diet and medication is also a good choice. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume warm foods such as mutton, leeks, and mudfish to achieve the effect of nourishment. Furthermore, appropriate physical exercise and regular sleep patterns can also help improve this situation.
