Feeling heat in the hands and feet is most likely due to blood-heat or endocrine imbalance; neurofunctional disorders should also be considered. Additionally, if heat in the hands and feet is accompanied by irritability, restlessness, and poor sleep quality, this is highly suggestive of yin deficiency with hyperactive fire. In such cases, targeted medications are required for treatment. Furthermore, avoid consuming cold, raw, spicy, or stimulating foods in daily diet.
