Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 I just read that Cayenne works well for what you are describing--The book is 'The Health Benefits of Cayenne' by John Heinerman--anyway they talk in the book of taking Cayenne powder and rubbing the affected limbs with it before putting on shoes, socks or gloves. Just make sure you don't rub your face until you have washed your hands thoroughly. Wouldn't hurt to take it internally either. I LOVE the benefits Cayenne gives.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hi Glenda,In chinese medicine cold intolerance is usually either yang defiency (a lack of warming energy) or blood defiency (blood fails to warm the extremities). there are a number of formulas that are very effective in correcting either problem. Although I usually would say that acupuncture is important part this is a case were the needling is much less effective. bob --- Glenda <mckee wrote: > Hi Everyone; > > I have a question about feeling cold.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Body temp is regulated by the hypothalamus which is controlled by the thyroid. My wife was very cold intolerant until her thyroid quit working and they put her on thyroid medicine.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 There can be a lot of reasons for this. Was your thyroid function tested? That's the most common one. Some diabetics have this too, because small blood vessels are getting damaged. If the problem is in the thyroid, then kelp is a good addition to the diet. But thyroid problems tend to be complicated, so you need to plan on consulting with a good naturopath at least on a monthly basis until you get stablized. If the problem is circulation, then cayenne pepper has worked for some people. Using it liberally in cooking and/or taking capsules are the most common ways it's taken. I have noticed that sometimes people who are unusually tall will have more of this type of problem. Is that part of your situation? If so, perhaps more specific measures will be needed. Vitamin E is also good for circulation, and if you're not taking a high quality supplement it is a good idea to add that. This is one of the most expensive vitamins, but it is well worth it. When shopping for Vitamin E, the best is usually " mixed tocopherols " . On Thu, 29 Aug 2002 09:34:16 -0300 Glenda <mckee wrote: > Hi Everyone; > > I have a question about feeling cold.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Hi Sara, To the best of my knowledge there are no contra-indications with cayenne and pregnancy. Matter of fact the only contra-indication that comes to mind is don't burn yourself up. Cayenne is one of the most beneficial and safe foods/herbs we have.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 I don't have much experience with cayenne but have heard you can't get the full effect unless you mix the powder in water or take the extract in water. The cayenne has to interact with the oral membranes to stimulate full effect. Of course you need to do this on a gradient starting off with just a little until you can handle more. Taking the capsules into the stomach just doesn't do this. herbal remedies, " Donald Eitner " <eitner.d@m...> wrote: > Hi Sara, > > To the best of my knowledge there are no contra-indications with cayenne and pregnancy.
