Q Once I start treatment, how long until I can feel my hands and feet getting warmer?
A Mild circulatory cold sensitivity often shows change within a few weeks, while long-established cold sensitivity generally needs steady management for 2-3 months or more to stabilize. Recovery speed varies with the cause, constitution, and lifestyle habits.
Detailed Answer
Recovery time for cold sensitivity tends to be proportional to the cause and how long it has lasted. Cold sensitivity from recent overexertion or food restriction responds relatively quickly, but if long-standing low body weight or chronic circulatory decline is the background, restoring warmth also takes time. Combining treatment with warmth-keeping, circulation exercises, and warm meals speeds recovery and helps it last longer.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Dongjedang proceeds step by step, from the basic stage of refilling warming energy to the stage of releasing blocked circulation to restore balance. In the first stage, you typically notice "my hands and feet feel less cold than before," and as stages progress, we adjust the pace so warmth settles evenly throughout the body.
