Can traditional Chinese medicine treat numbness in the hands and feet?

In TCM treatment, the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment is usually applied. The body's Yin-Yang balance is regulated through Chinese herbal medicine, promoting blood circulation and Qi flow, and activating blood circulation to remove blood stasis, thereby alleviating symptoms. Specific methods are as follows: 1. Acupuncture and massage: By stimulating relevant acupoints through acupuncture and massage, local blood circulation is improved, numbness symptoms are relieved, the endocrine system is regulated, and the body's immunity is enhanced. 2. Taking Chinese herbs: Commonly used medicinal materials such as Astragalus (Huangqi), Codonopsis (Dangshen), Salvia Miltiorrhiza (Danshen), and Safflower (Honghua) have functions of replenishing Qi and nourishing blood, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. These herbs can improve blood circulation, promote metabolism, and thus alleviate numbness in hands and feet. For example, Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Tang is a well-known formula from Zhang Zhongjing's "Synopsis of Golden Chamber" (Jingui Yaolue), specifically used for treating hand and foot disorders. It effectively improves numbness in hands and feet by mechanisms such as replenishing Qi to raise Yang, warming meridians to unblock collaterals, nourishing blood, and promoting blood circulation. 3. Herbal bath: Methods such as soaking in medicinal liquid or steaming with herbal steam allow the skin to absorb medicinal components, promote blood circulation, and relieve numbness. 4. Dietary regulation: Consuming nutrient-rich foods such as Chinese dates (Datse), longan, and walnuts can assist in treatment.
