Q I have both anemia and cold hands and feet — does Sipjeondaebo-tang help with both?
A Anemia (Blood deficiency) and cold hands and feet (Yang deficiency/Blood deficiency) are core indications for Sipjeondaebo-tang. The Samul-tang component that replenishes Blood improves anemia, while cinnamon bark and astragalus warm the body to relieve the cold sensitivity as well.
Detailed Answer
Anemia is a representative symptom of Blood deficiency, and cold hands and feet occur when Qi deficiency or Yang deficiency prevents blood circulation from reaching the extremities. By using herbs that replenish Blood together with herbs that replenish Qi, blood circulation improves and peripheral circulation is warmed, addressing both symptoms together.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Patients with both anemia and cold sensitivity are, at Dongjedang, a typical case of combined Qi-Blood deficiency. Please share your anemia levels and the areas affected by cold sensitivity in detail during the consultation so we can reflect them in a customized prescription.
