Hey everyone, I have a genetic condition where in cold climate or if I'm a bit stressed, the blood circulation to my hands becomes very poor (vasoconstriction) and my hands become FREEZING cold. This even happens when I have been inside in the warmth for a long time if it's winter. Working as a massage therapist, this is a huge impediment to me, so I was wondering if you guys have any tricks to increase blood circulation to the hands that can be done relatively quickly (or for any length necessary!). I've already tried all the usual, warm water, swinging the arms to force blood in, massaging, various herbs and supplements, etc. So far, pretty much nothing has worked, so maybe you guys might have some other ideas? Also, strangely enough, there are times when my hands actually are hot like burning furnaces, but this occurs only when I am *extremely* relaxed, such as right after waking up, or after watching a movie for a long while. Thanks!
