Q I wear thick clothes and I am still cold. Which areas should I keep warm for the best effect?
A Cover the neck, the lower abdomen and the ankles first. Large blood vessels pass through these places and heat escapes easily there, so covering just these three changes how you feel considerably. Several thin layers hold heat better than one thick one.
Detailed Answer
Indoors, keep your feet off the bare floor and use sleep socks. A 15-minute half-body bath or foot bath at around 38 to 40°C before bed also deepens your sleep. Water that is too hot drains your energy instead, so keep it lukewarm.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
If two weeks of this brings no change, it is faster to examine whether the power to make heat itself is lacking. You can also use it to judge whether your stage still responds to lifestyle adjustment.
