Q How soon do I feel less cold after starting care?
A Usually the lower abdomen and torso warm first, and the fingers and toes follow last. Many people find their feet less cold at bedtime within a few weeks, while the extremities take longer to settle. Judging by whether the range narrowed after one winter is the most accurate measure.
Detailed Answer
Recovery commonly arrives as less cold feet during sleep, then a warmer lower abdomen, then easing coldness in the hands and feet. Fewer immediate upsets after cold food is another good sign. Judging by "never feeling cold" makes improvement feel like failure.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Returning to cold food and thin clothing once you improve brings it back. We consider the period of maintenance after things settle to be part of the care. Checking in as the seasons turn reduces heavy relapses.
