Q Tests show nothing wrong, yet I am always cold. Is it simply my constitution?
A Normal tests mean dangerous causes have been excluded. How much you feel the cold depends on circulation, metabolism, muscle mass and daily habits, which rarely show in numbers. Rather than covering it with the word "constitution", it is more practical to separate which condition is lacking.
Detailed Answer
The same coldness has different causes in someone with low activity, someone who eats little, and someone under high tension. Whether you are cold all year or only in winter is also an important clue. If it worsened suddenly in recent months, we look first at what changed at that point.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
We examine the pulse, the temperature of the abdomen, the colour and temperature of the hands and feet, and your digestion and sleep. Separating shortage from stagnation that numbers do not capture is where the consultation begins. This is exactly where most people told "nothing is wrong" come to us.
