cold feet can occur for lots of reasons
in fact I would probably estimate that
having cold feet might be one of the
most common symptoms or complaints that
somebody might have in their feet in
general causes of cold and symptomatic
cold feet are many and in most cases
cold feet can be common and aren't
really an indication of a disease
process but are simply the way that your
body has has controlled its temperatures
the most common cause of cold feet is
really just a lack of the use of shoe
wear and patients or individuals that
don't use shoes often will often get
feet that become colder the feet are the
farthest away from the heart they're
also because of the the distance from
the core of the body have the most
susceptibility to losing temperature and
blood doesn't get down there and so it
doesn't heat the foot as often if
measured the temperature on the toes is
the lowest temperature generally of any
part of the body just simply because of
how far it is away from the core of the
body however there are conditions that
can cause it to be more significant if
blood supply to the foot is impaired for
any reason and that can include
atherosclerosis or hardening of the
arteries which often is associated also
with hardening of the arteries in the
heart then that can reduce blood flow to
the foot and cause the foot to cool down
or be cold in addition there are
different types of neurologic conditions
that can reduce the amount of blood that
gets to the foot as well and one of
those some of those can be from the
sympathetic nervous system being more
active in feet people that usually have
that condition also have more sweat in
their feet they sweat more readily and
the foot remains colder for for those
reasons home remedies for cold feet most
people come upon on their own but
warming measures can be very helpful so
foot soaks as well as as wearing
appropriate shoe wear and then also
stockings can make a big difference in
maintaining warmth in your foot there
are different types of stockings that
help for example anything containing
wool or in some instances acrylic and
even some of the newer synthetic fibers
can retain heat a little bit better or
at least regulate temperatures so that
the cold doesn't become as symptomatic
in addition massage can be helpful to
maintain circulation of the foot and
often there are circulatory alternative
herbs and medications that have been
prescribed for this while we don't have
scientific basis for many of them many
patients feel that they'd make a big
difference in being able to maintain
warmth to their feet you should see a
doctor for for cold feet if you start
noticing changes in color to your foot
that remain for long periods of time if
you start noticing any sores or all sort
of developing in your foot especially
pain if you start noticing unexplained
reasons for pain and particularly in
your toes that may be associated with
changes in your skin then you definitely
see a physician or doctor for this to
ensure that you have adequate blood
supply to your foot and that you aren't
at risk of losing toes or losing
portions of your foot or developing
catastrophic problems with the lack of
Seraph circulation to your feet in
